   Yes, but one page I read says that modern cars also continue to run   
   longer though the oxygen is depleted.   
      
   This is mostly about people in the car, but my point is that the car   
   will run longer than an old car maybe would because it knows how to   
   compensate.   
      
   "The car will continue to run on what oxygen remains in the air in the   
   garage, but by the time that there’s not enough air ( oxygen) for   
   combustion to continue, you’ll most likely be dead. The electronics of a   
   modern car are designed to compensate for less than optimal conditions.   
   It will adjust injector bandwith and timing so as to keep running. At   
   worst ( or best, depending on how you look at it), it will just produce   
   more carbon monoxide and Co2,, Until there’s virtually no oxygen left in   
   the garage, or until it runs out of gas. By the time your car can’t run,   
   you’ve been dead for a while.   
      
   People die every year from the tail pipe of the car getting plugged by   
   snow in a snow storm, and excess exhaust gasses building up in the car.   
   Given that a garage is a controlled environment, it’s almost impossible   
   that you wouldn’t die from starting your car in a garage with the door   
   closed."
