The other day I was driving to work and my car just shut off. I have check the fuel pump and it is charging up. Fuel is going through the fuel filter. I check and clean the distributer cap and the clean the spark plugs. I don't know what it could be.

I can't get the car started. What could it be?

You need to disconnect a sparkplug wire and ground it to the engine, have helper crank engine over-do you have spark? If so -try carb cleaner into the throttle body if it starts and dies -you have a fuel system problem -

When you turn key to On-do you hear the fuel pump come On?
