What makes a engine sputter and quit and then not start? Plenty of gas. Just changed gas filter.

Sputtered earlier in the day. Then drove fine. Never had a problem before.

Did you check for OBD Codes?

Did you have a shop drive it with scanner,
& see if all the Emission Monitors have run?

Ever do any Preventative Maintenance, or just
drive your vehicles until you have problems !

Did you check for fuel pressure at the motor & spark ?

Battery Dead or worn out !

No one can guess at your vehicle issues-- without it-- to
do some testing,always been that way

Sputtered out and now it won't stay running; dies when put in gear.

Mass air flow , crank sensor . I wouldn't discount anything . Having a scan tool that can view engine sensor data would be a great help too , testing fuel pressure and flow and back pressure test the exhaust .

No gas getting to filter,,, car has been running fine

Change the fuel pump or make sure the fuel safety cut off switch didn't trip or look for a blown fuse. The fuel cut off is usually found in the trunk.

Power fadded over a few days now its dead. Fuel Pump?

It's quite possible to ruin a fuel pump by letting it run dry, especially if it already has years of use. When you first turn on the key, leave the door open and see if you can hear a high pitched whine for about three seconds. That would be the pump priming the system. If you don't hear it, then the pump isn't working. Be sure to turn the key of for about 10 seconds before you try listenng again(it has to reset). It can be hard to hear, especially over the key buzzer.
