When I turn the key, I can hear the engine trying to start, but nothing happens. This started yesterday, I was driving home on the interstate when my car suddenly just decelerated and stopped. I couldn't get it to start again. We put a new battery in, and tested the alternator which is good. I need to check the ignition control module but have no idea where it is. Help? I have a lincoln Town Car 1997

The engine did not die because of a defective starter. either some mechanical or electrical component has gone awry, or you ran out of gas. putting a new battery and/or starter in a car with a dead engine will not cause the engine to start.

you need to have someone with some mechanical knowledge take an actual look at it. someone over the internet cannot diagnose nor divine which of the many components has malfunctioned causing the car to quit.

Car cut off while driving

Hi,
Bad news....if you ran low on oil, the car likely sustained engine damage and will need major engine repair/replacement.

A mechanic can determine the exact issue.

2004 dodge 5.7 hemi stalls while driving

with a problem like this you must surly have a check engine light on ?
To answer your question yes an EGR valve could cause this problem on a hemi ! But would act up more cold .
And No the key thing wont work on this year of vehicle , you need to have a scanner for OBD 3 to retrieve the codes .
This sounds like a fuel problem to me have you checked fuel pressure ? and for a tuneup , remember the hemi takes 16 spark plugs it could have some of them miss firing .
