I was driving and the dash lights came on. The car did not stop running but i didnt have any power when i pressed the accelerator. I pulled over and shut the car off, and when i tried to restart it wouldn't turn over. What are the possible problems?

Spray some carb cleaner into the throttle body and see what happens-if it starts and dies out-check the fuel pressure-up to specs, recheck ignition system by doing a spark test.
