i suppose check the basics first,....spark, fuel, etc. that should start narrowing it down.

Well just for shatz & giggles, I went out to see if the car would crank & it did. I didn't do one thing to the car except let it sit. I wonder what could have caused it yesterday?

Re: Cranked & then died...

what about the fuel you smelled, no more smell from it ? ignition control module can give an intermittent stalling problem
