what does it do when it turns over... DOES IT TURN OVER ??? does it just keep cranking and cranking or what ???
I would suggest checking ALL vacuum lines .. if it does turn over... turn it for a bit (if it's not catching)... then smell (YES, smell) the exhaust pipe... if it smells like gasoline then you have fuel pumping and look for another problem... also check your fuses... ALSO... if it's an automatic... try it in Neutral... if there is any loud tapping or ticking when it's turning over... stop
thats about all that I can think of for now... if you have any other info on what it's doing or how it stopped... let me know, I'll try to help// Good luck
