I would suggest that your timing belt broke - just like mine did Saturday, May 23, 09. I pulled over and a mechanic friend helped me check it out. Do not turn the engine over and over and over (too late?). These are probably "interference" engines and you may bend/break your valves or bust a piston which equals an expensive repair (like mine). Take it to a mechanic first. My repair, at $45.00/hr will cost around $200-$300 to fix. That's cheap!! if bent valve - closer to $1000.00 to repair. God Bless you & your car.

My Mitsubishi Galant died while driving now wont start?

check the engine fuse it might be blown,or timing belt it might be wornout I had this problem happen twice to me, where it died on the road and I had to pull over and it would not start. This was a 1994 Mitsubishi Galant. The mechanic replaced what I think is the internal distributor, it was some electronic black box literally, and after that it was fine. I guess they burn out every 7 to 10 years.
