Default OH NO!

So coming home from the bank, driving as usual, then when I stop to make the last turn before I get home, BAM she dies, turn the key, starts up, then BAM! dies again, turn it on keep it revved and make the turn, and keep it in 2nd for about two blocks sputtering the whole way, get to my driving way, slow down to go in and BAM dies again, start it up again dies, not even revving it keeps it going, as Im contemplating on what to do while rolling back into the middle of the street, I say F*CK it turn it on slam the gas and make it up the driveway, park, pop the hood then dies, turn it on again check everthing, nothing loose, no weird noises, didnt overheat, fan clutch still spun, sputters then dies.

At that point im bummed out and come here [:@]

Maybe a vacuum line ripped. Its possible its a fuel problem, maybe even something crapped out in the ignition system. Theres a lot of things it could be.

Pull you codes, see if you come up with anything. Pull the iac and check that. Have you already changed your fuel filter lately. Just a few free ideas to get you started.
