Default Quick help please

I was driving my car yesterday when it just died. Everything was going fine and it cut off and now it won't start again. It rolls over but just won't start.

Any ideas on where I should start would be great.

start by seeing if you have spark... second, see if you have fuel... is your pump working?

Im not sure on this but it could be somethin to check. Maybe your spark plugs arent firing cause a coil plug is bad. Or maybe one of ur spark plugs is bad. I know I had a coil plug go out when I was driving and the motor bogged way down and then died and wouldnt start again. Hope that helps.

got it fixed. It was a blown fuse for the PCM in the engine compartment.

for those with a new edge GT, there is a bracket on the back side of the right head. It had rubbed through the coil wires and was causing a short and blowing the fuse. My mechanic and I didn't see a purpose for the bracket, so we are going to remove it when i take it to his shop tomorrow. Just an FYI.
