Hello,
A more detailed description of what happened would help.
Were you driving it, were you stopped at a light/stop sign.
Does it spin over and just not start or it doesn't spin over.
Did the Engine light come on before anything happened?

Is engine light on?
Can you hear the Fuel Pump run for about 3 seconds then shut down with key in the on position not start?
Check for Spark at the Plugs - Should be Bright Bluish/White.

Ok, since there is no engine light it is most likely a fuel problem.
Need to check fuel pump relay.... It is located in the Power Distribution Box under the hood.
Check out link below for testing....

If relay is good test fuel pressure.... Check out Video at the link below....
