While stoping at a red light I heard a clicking sound coming fromthe front drivers side of the car near the wheel then the car stalled. Now when I try to start it the car trys to turn over but wont start it sounds as if it isn't getting gas or it isn't getting a spark what is my problem?

Test the main relay if okay do below

Disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors-
