While driving the engine died and would not restart. Parked it and came back later in the evening and tried to start it. The engine sounds like it turns over very quickly, tach shows about 300-400 RPM. Had to tow it home. It is affected by the Hyundai Recall Campaign 110 for stop lamp switch. Not sure if that would cause this problem or not. Any suggestion where to start checking would be appreciated. Thanks

Start by checking the timing belt if its intact-could have broken-
