Hi,
For an engine to run, you need fuel, spark, compression, and the timing has to be correct. Do me a favor. See if it starts if you use starting fluid. If it does and then stalls, then we know it's fuel related.
Also, here is a link that shows how to retrieve codes on this year vehicle. See if you can retrieve codes

Let me know what you find. Also, let me know if this happened all at once or if there were problems before.
Take care and God Bless
