Driving down the road, my radio wnet off. I drove 11 blocks, then began to park when the car died, but the radio came back on. I couldn't restart the car, cause the engine would not turn over. Now it won't start but lights and radio work.Do you have some advice for it?

Check you're two battery connections, your starter connection and your ground connections going from the engine to the firewall. Make sure all the connections are clean and tight. The fact that the lights and radio work means the battery is good and the alternator is working. Seems like a corroded or loose connection. Let me know when you find out. I hope that helps. Ciao

You would also want to check to make sure you have spark...no spark would mean you have a bad coil or other electronic component. This would probably have to be checked by someone who has a scanner and diagnostic tools.

my husband had a simular thing... it turned out his gas gague was wrong and it was actually empty (instead of the half tank it said it had). i dont know much about repair but hopefully this is your problem and not something worse!
