This sounds like the crankshaft angle sensor has gone out, but to be sure lets go over this video to see what you are losing, either spark or fuel which the video we show you how to test.

Here is the location of the engine crankshaft sensor so you can swap it out to fix the problem. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
