Ran fine, then 2 hours later wouldn't start. Turns over as normal acts like it is either not getting spark or fuel. Fuses are OK, that I can check visually, no other electrical issues - lights, radio, gauges, etc. Acts like it is not getting spark or gas. Gas gauge shows half a tank. Vehicle is in great condition and never have had any problems with it

Disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs,distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors- Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it
