    fuel pump ? CAS ? can you hear the fuel pump spin ? do you have spark at the plugs and pulse at the injectors ?

    paper clip, diagnostic mode, count the cel light for codes, look them up, that may show what is causing it

    Ok so it ran fine for a few days then today I went for a drive to the beach and as I was slowing down to go over a speed bump it stalled put it in neutral and turned the key after a few cranks it started then after we finished our swim it wouldn't start thinking maybe fuel filter is clogged I was running on almost empty last week and that seems to be when the problem started
