Just had oil changed a week ago, new fuel pump less than 6 months ago. Usually runs great, was at the bank drive thru window and it sputtered, and died. Embarrassing, but pushed it to a parking space and there it sits. Son in law hooked up computer and shows nothing. Turns over, has spark, its getting fuel, fuel pump is working, has plenty of gas in it. Also fuel pump fuse checked and that's good, distributor cap checked for moisture, battery is good, changed fuel filter, any ideas what it could be?

This sounds like a fuel pump or the crankshaft angle sensor has gone out. When you turn the key to the on position without cranking the engine over can you hear the fuel pump run in the tank for 5 seconds?

Checked it and no pressure so I got a new fuel pump and pulled the tank to remove the old pump, once I got is back together it took about 5 seconds of cranking and it started right up. Thanks for for the guide really helped me out.
