Car simply died while driving 850 1993

posted by  someone claiming to be Claim on  Tue Jun 11 12:25 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Folks, I need some serious help here.

This evening I was driving from work and I think the car made some sort of a hissing noise (I had the radio on so I could not hear properly) and my car simply stopped and died on the spot. Now the engine turn when I turn the key but it does not fire up. Any suggestion before I dump this thing and RUN to buy a HONDA.

Things preceeding this unfortunate event.

1)About two weeks back I gave the car a very good wash.
2)Then I noticed that it was fogging inside the car. This has never happend to this car
3) A week later the SERVICE light would come on for about two minutes before driving and then go off. This lasted for a week.
4)Finally, yesterday I opened and cleaned the pollen filter. There was a lot of crap. Added some water because the radiator fluid seemed to be low. Checked Oil etc. and they were fine.

Today I drive from work and this happens. Please help. ANY suggestion would be helpful.
