Replaced bad battery two days ago. Car drove perfectly fine the day after the change. The following day which was yesterday I went outside and started the car to let it warm up and it ran just fine until I put it into gear to pull off. It cut off and has not started since. It turns over strong, but will not start.
minor experience under hood.

Try this in the quiet, if you turn the key "on", do you hear the fuel pump cycle on for two seconds?

This may verify that it will run, if it does, check your fuel pressure. A gauge may be rented at an auto parts store.

If you do not hear the pump run its two second cycle,

Sometimes,

Sometimes,

You can give your fuel tank a few good smacks/ slaps, it may start working again.

This is by no means is a fix!

But it might narrow down that the pump is the problem (and may go out at any time).

Keep us posted on progress.
