Question type: Maintenance & Repair

MY CAR WAS RUNNING FINE WHEN I PURCHASED IT TWO MONTHS AGO. THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. NEXT MY CAR STARTED SHUTTING OFF WHEN I WOULD COME TO A STOP LIGHT OR SIGN OR WHEN I WOULD SLOW DOWN. NOW MY IN DASH LIGHTS DONT WORK AND MY SPARK PLUGS HAVE NO SPARK. IT TRYS TO TURN OVER BUT WONT START. WHAT THE HELL COULD IT BE. I HAVE SPENT MONEY ON THINGS THEY SAID IT COULD BE LIKE THE COIL PACKS AND THE MODULE THE COILS SIT ON. ITS THE ONLY CAR I HAVE AND I NEED TO GET BACK AN FORTH TO WORK. SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP.

sounds like a broken wire or B+ Circuit, no power to cluster, and no spark. ANy sensors show any 5 volt or 12 volt signal?
