Not when it shut off. Check engine light came one when I tried to crank it. Don't have a reader with me at the moment

Battery voltage Is fine. Check engine light didn't come until I came to stop and tried turning it back on. I think it maybe the fuel pump. I don't hear it at all. Will check codes tomorrow

Managed to get an obd code reader. Ended up being the crankshaft position sensor.
