While turning around going up a hill, it shut off and will not start?

I was turning around going up a hill and stalled out, car was running great until I stalled and now, I can't get it started. It has a remote starter (which works but I never use) with a rat's nest of wires above the brake pedals that were getting in the way when I shifted. I have replaced both coils and have new plugs and wires and new ICM I haven't put in yet, but it was running great until I stalled it. So, I don't think it's that, I don't know?

Hi,

Before replacing things, let's try something. In most cases when this type of thing happens, you either lose spark or fuel to the engine. See if it starts for a couple of seconds using starting fluid. If it does and then stalls, we know its fuel related. If there is no change, then I need you to check for spark to the plugs. Here is a link that explains how it's done:

Let me know what you find or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
