I was driving my cutlass and suddenly it died. I could start it up, but as soon as I put it into drive and touched the gas, it would sputter and die. The morning after I could not even get it to turn over and catch. I put gas in the car but it still wont start. I dont think it's getting any fuel to the engine. Any ideas?

If it cranks good but won't start, have a helper crank it, while you visually check for spark at the plugs. If you have spark everywhere, use a gage and check fuel pressure. Are there any applicable trouble codes?
