You still have one application of power brakes and can steer, but both get heavier fast. Signal, steer to the shoulder, and brake to a stop. Turn on your hazard lights. Do not try to restart while the car is moving. Once you&rsquo;re safely stopped, then diagnose. Common causes: empty fuel tank, failed alternator, bad fuel pump, or a snapped timing belt.</p>
