So tonight I was leaving my grandma's to go back home and when I pulled off the exit to pick up my friend the car lost all power to the gas pedal and went quiet. As I was still rolling I pop-started it which worked for half a second and then nothing. Checked all fluids and whatnot because it had been a road trip and now it turns over fine but doesn't sound like the fuel is igniting?
Tried started fluid which did nothing and couldn't get it into a shop or anywhere with light and tools because well today is christmas... I checked connections on the distributor/starter and battery, but they all seemed connected although slightly corroded. Is there something I am blatantly missing which I could try in the morning before having to get it towed someplace and pay money that honestly I dont have.


any help this evening would be amazingly appreciated!
