1999 Mercury Sable 164, 00 miles

I drove my Merc Sable Sl around for a couple of hours yesterday with no problems at all. I came home, parked it, left it for a couple of hours. I went out to go on a short trip, the car started right up. I traveled about 100 yards and had to stop in the middle of the street because I forgot something at the house. Now it will not turn over or start at all. What is the problem?

Do below to determine what's missing fuel or spark.

Get a carb cleaner and spray into the carb or the throttle body on an EFI. Did it start and die? If not 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 problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the 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, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors-
