I stopped at a redlight this morning and the car jolted twice and then shut off. It did not run hot and there was no smell or leaks from the engine. It would not turn over for me to drive again, and I had to leave it on the side of the road. It acted like it was going to turn over but it never would. The lights are working fine, so I dont think it is the battery or the alt. Please help me out thanks

Well I suspect a faulty crank sensor, but you cannot be postive untill you can verify it is spark that is missing here, or fuel. So that needs verification first before we can be solid on the problem.

Not Cranking Over
When your engine is not cranking (turning) over it will be mainly due to three separate areas, first it could be the battery, cables or poor connection, next is the starter...
