I was driving down the road and the car shut off, I tried to start it, but it just turns over won't start. Sub-freezing temperature outside not too sure engine has antifreeze.

How does the engine sound when cranking over normal? Can you please shoot a quick video with your phone so I can hear the engine? That way I can tell for sure if the engine is okay. You can upload it here with your response. Also, if you turn the key on without cranking the engine over can you hear the fuel pump kick on in the tank for about 5 seconds? Also, try using starting fluid, this will tell us if it is fuel or ignition related.

In the meantime, change out this guide:

We need to narrow down the system that has failed.
