Why did my car just quit going down the road what could be wrong?
Most likely, if it is a 05-06 corolla (and possibly other years), there is a failure of the ECM. It can seem as if you ran out of gas. Happened to me on the freeway, and my friend while at a red light. Then the car will crank but won't start, or will idle very poorly and die. Take it to the dealer and they will replace it for free up to around 90,000 miles because it falls under the category of an emissions repair. This is very common on corollas. They will replace it with an upgraded unit which doesn't have the same defect. There is a TSB about this, which stands for Technical Service Bulletin, which is a company memo that tells the company about the problem, how to fix it, and that it is under warranty. if you google corolla TSB ECM you may find it.
