check to see if it is a fuel delivery or spark problem and proceed from there

When it died, did it sputter like it was out of gas? Could be a clogged fuel filter or fuel line. Possibly the fuel pump, but those rarely tend to go bad.

Was there gas in it? Did you check under the hood? It could be a variety of things. You might need a new fuel pump. Are all the lights working? It could be your alternator..It could be low on fluids. When was your last oil change?

It sounds like the fuel pump, which I believe is located in the fuel tank itself... first things first>>
Check your fuses ( or those bladed circuit) breakers.. If that's not the problem, blocked fuel filter... If that's not it its time to get to a mechanic or replace the fuel pump and filter yourself ... Good Luck! If the fuel system is fine check the electrical system next...
