Im stumped at what could have went wrong here. I was driving down the road with a friend following me and all of a sudden i had smoke coming through my shifter and passanger area . I pulled over too the side of the road not sure if i turned car off or it shut off by itself ,friend said i had blue smoke coming out my echaust. Problem i have now is car wont start at all , i dont hear fuel pump or anything what so ever . Any ideas of what could have went wrong ?

Check fuse links under the starter solenoid may have burned out, check your wiring. Check for power to the fuel cut off switch.

check the fusable link wiring going to the starter solenoid as mentioned previously.

Had this happen to a friend before and he lost all power as well. it happened after a jump start from a plug in jump starter on wheels.
