I was driving down drake last night the suddenly my car just stopped going. It turns over like its trying to start, but it doesn't start. Just happened out of the blue was having no problems that would warn me of something happening. Any ideas would be appreciated!

Check for fuel pressure and spark. If you have both of those, pull the timing cover and make sure you timing belt didnt break.

Was it raining or humid at the time?
Did it just all stop or did you loose a cylinder?
What "recent" maintenance did you do?

Yup, get the basics. Find and fix the broken one(s) and you should be running again:
Fuel
Air
Compression
Spark
Timing

I have found that 9 out of 10 times if the car just "stops running" the timing belt has broken. The other 10% is a fuel pump malfunction.

That sucks. Hopefully you figure it out.
