When the engine dies, check to see if you have spark and fuel to the engine.

Please start a new question. This was an old private conversation between two people. None of the other experts are going to see your addition of have a chance to reply. That won't get you the help you want. Also, the original person didn't bother to list the engine size, explain what "stops driving" means, or even bother to post a followup. Different engines usually have different ignition systems. We use engine size, transmission type, and mileage to tailor our answers to your problem.

You also need too clarify what you mean by, "it has fuel". To a lot of people that means there's gas in the tank. We need fuel pressure, but even that is misleading. About 95 percent of crank / no-starts are caused by loss of spark AND injector pulses, but fuel pressure will still be okay. Those problems don't originate in the ignition system.
