Hello, I have a 92 Firebird 5 speed, this morning I got in started it up sat in idle for a little bit while I buckled up and got the radio set up, put it in reverse went to back up and it shut off. I then proceeded to start it back up but nothing. Brand spanking new battery oil level was fine checked it a week before it didn't feel like the clutch was sticking. What could be up with it?

If the engine will turn over while trying to start then I would check fuel pressure to see if the pump went bad.

The engine does not turn over at all. It did 5 mins before but after it shut off(ALMOST like it stalled out) it didn't turn anymore
