1997 Dodge Stratus Automatic

While driving to work the other day my car just randomly shut off and my breaks locked up. When I finally came to a stop I tried to turn the car on again and it just made a er er er er noise. So it turned over but wouldn't start. Does anybody have any ideas on what it could be?

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
