I was driving it like normal and all of the sudden it just died. When I tried to restart it, it wouldnt try to start. I dont believe it was free spinning. Any advice?

Check for spark, fuel pressure and compression.

You need a compression tester, fuel pressure gauge and an old plug to check for spark.
