    I was driving than I heard a lound pop noise the car kept running no warning lights came on. When I got home the car turned off fine. When I got back in the car it wouldn’t start everything came on but the ready light and the engine.

    You need to get the codes read.
    You can purchase items to get the information for under $75
    - Android tablet/phone
    - Elm 327 Bluetooth OBDII reader
    - Torque Pro App

    - The reader can be bought on Amazon and delivered in a few days.
    - The app you can download in a few minutes.

    Once we know the codes we can give you a better idea with less guessing.

    If you don't read the codes yourself, you will need to go to someone who can read them. Dealer's sometimes charge around $100. Depends on your dealer or mechanic.
