My 94 Chevy Lumina Euro 3.1 Engine died on me the other night going around a turn and up a hill. Right before it died it acted like I lost all my gas pressure, my headlights dimmed came back on than died right after that. I have tried jumping in, and it sat on a battery charger all day yesterday but it still will not start. What should i do?

If it cranks good, but, won't start, have a helper crank it while you visually check for spark at the plugs. If you have spark everywhere, use a gage and check fuel pressure. Also, you should be able to check for applicable trouble codes. To check mil codes, use a jumper wire between the A & B terminals at the datalink connector. Then, turn key just till the dash lites come on, no further. The mil on the dasah starts flashing, you count the flashes to get the codes, your looking for two digit codes.

How long since a tune-up?
