I was driving on the interstate at 75mph, 20 miles into my drive my car lost power and slowed down to 60mph. I couldnt go faster than that, i kept driving for another 50 miles trying to get home and it completely gave out and loss all power. I had to get it towed home and now it wont start, i changed out my fuel pump and crankshaft sensor, still wont start. it cranks over just wont start, any help or ideas on what the issue might be???
 
Check the basics. Fuel. Spark and compression. Since you had a sudden loss I'd check timing first. Gotta ask why would you keep driving it?
what exactly would you check on the fuel? im still learning and barely starting to work on my own cars. Good question!!! i wanted to get it home and i had a 100 mile trip to get home, it was getting late, had to go to work.... basically a litte bit of everything.
