I just put gas in the car and drove a couple miles, then my car started cutting out like it was out of gas. Now it won't start. I checked all the spark plugs for sparks, the fuel pump, and all the fuses. Everything is fine. But it just turns over and will not start up.

Check the fuel pressure-is it up to specs? Also crank engine over and listen to the injector/s are they clicking. I need to know this before we continue.

It sounds like the timing belt let go, does it sounds funny when you crank the gnien over? if so then the timing belts is bad, here is how to replace it and I have included a guide that can help as well.
