Question
Car stalled when driving - Turns over but seems like it's not getting gas or no spark.

Answer
very little information here, but ill try to help, check your fuses, first, mainly the one that control the electronic engine controls and the fuel pump fuse, check your owners manual if the cover of the fuse box dosent tell you which fuse is which. check bothfuse boxes, one under the hood and one inside under the driverside of the dash. pull a plug, set it by the manifold and have some one crank it over, or use a spark tester to find out if you do have spark. check your fuel pump, try this trick, open the fuel fill door, unscrew the cap, have someone turn the car on, but not to start, this is the position on the key where all the dash lights and the radio would come on. now put your ear to the tank, works best in a quiet as possible environment, have some turn the key and listen for a brief 2-6 sec. low hum from the fuel tank, that tells you if your fuel pump is kicking on or not.
