could be bad plug wires or sparkplugs. check those first.

I dont think that would be it because I have no spark from any wires but I will start there first and the car was running when it shut off.

Ok I was trying to figure out what the problem might be and I notice the alarm light just stays on not blinking and when I use the clicker it locks but no noise and still the light just stays on. It is a alarm put on at the dealer Karr brand is there some type of fuse for it???

ignition coil. plugs themselves, wire, or bad ground.
