my car shut off while i was driving and it wont turn back on

Hello, Dave here, contributing to RepairPal and providing expert advice since 2010. If your battery light comes on while driving, it indicates the charging system is not charging the battery. I would first check to see if the drive belt is attached and turning the alternator. If the belt is missing, you'll need to figure out why - did the belt fracture? Is a pulley frozen or very loose? If the belt is installed and intact, you'll want to check the charging system for output in voltage and amperage. I would suspect an issue there. This engine has a timing belt - has it been changed by now? A broken timing belt will cause a stall and prevent the engine from starting. Lots off areas to check out.
