Driving home a few days ago from dropping my fiance off at work, all of a sudden I lost power. Pulled over and tried restarting the car, nothing. Dash lights, headlights, and CD player all come on when the key is in the "on" position so my battery wasn't the issue. I hear the fuel pump kick on too, so that didn't die on me. Also the starter kicks on. When I try and start it, it wants to turn over...it just doesn't. Pulled one of the spark plug wires yesterday and tried to start it, but I had no spark. It was running just fine until this happened. I don't peg my RPM's or dog the car out. And as far as I know, no indicator lights came on the dash that I noticed before it just died on me.
