Alrighty, here's what happened:
While driving home today, the engine just suddenly dropped to 0 rpm. No stuttering or sputtering, just died. All the lights stayed on, all the other gauges read normally. No check engine light.
When I tried to start it back up, it will turn over normally, but won't actually start. I figured the problem is either no spark or no gas. I wasn't sure how to check for fuel on the side of the road, but I checked for spark (the way my manual said, but pulling off the wire and putting it against the engine block). As far as I can tell, it's not producing any spark.
Anyone have any idea what the problem could be? Something that would just happen suddenly like that while driving?
