I was driving my car one night and the batteries light came on and the car just stalled out. However, when it stalled out, I did not lose batteries power, all my lights stayed on and everything inside the car worked but the car would not start. It cranks just won't start. Within the last three months I have replaced the fuel pump, alternator, and the battery. I'm at my wits end and end. Help please!

It sounds like the distributor has gone out, but can I ask if the engine will run on starting fluid? Also are there any codes? Here are two guides to help us see what's going on. How does the engine sound when cranking over? You may have a timing belt that has gone out.
