Does it crank, then run rough and die, or just plain out won't even turn over, need a little more info here.

But before it does what does it do? Does it smell like it's burning rich? What does the sound sound like, ticking, pinging, screeching, grinding, etc? How bad of a shake is it with the engine? Do the RPMs bouce iradically, or does it idel too low, or does it even idel, or start?

Could be a lot of stuff, EGR valve, Idel Control Sensor, Faulty MAF, Faulty Throttle Positioning Sensor, blown fuse, bad thermostat, bad temperature sensor, could be a lot of things.
