1993 Saturn SL1 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

Hi My Name Is Shembria, Bree For Short. I was driving my car yesterday , and before I got on the highway I had to turn around because I forgot my glasses at home. As I pulled In front of my house to let my daughter out to run and get my glasses the car shut off without any warning . I tried to carnk it but to no avail. I talked to this one mechanic who said to me spray some choke fluid or carbuerator cleaner into the throttle body and if it cranks that means your fuel pump is bad. If it doesn't that could mean your igniton coil isn't good , the altenator, starter or the battery. Now I am Like Wow. Which One Is It. So I tried again to crank it and this time the lights in the dash went completely off with the car trying to start. My Question is What Is Really Wrong with the car?

Ok were going to have to start with getting ur battery charged and tested I bet some place like autozone might do that for free.u just have to take it out and bring it to them once u get that done I will tell u how to check for spark and if that's good I will tell u a little trick that might easly tell if ur fuel pump is bad.
