Default Please Help: 996TT-S engine stopped, and won't stay running Hi Everyone,
Last night my engine shut off while driving and when trying to start it, it immediately shuts off. Car is bone stock, 40,000miles. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!

When turn the key to the first position not start, do you hear the fuel pump running?

Yes, codes please, and off the top my head it sounds like failed fuel pump.
