(if engine is good, not overheated )
its only 1 of 2 things.
lost spark (do a spark test using , yes, a test good spark plug)
if spark is good on all cyl
then check fueling, if spark plugs not soaked in fuel (tips)
then try test fuel.
if soaked, the op guide says, hold throttle fully open (depressed 100%) this cuts INJECTIONS 100% and you start a flooding motor)
spark is good, the engine does not overheat,check everything you said. still acts like it rus out of gas

Same problem for me. The car would idle at about 2500 when started from cold and about 3 miles on would not idle at all, resulting in the revs dropping off when changing gear or stopping. Also rather jerky in top gear unless thrashed - numerous trips to the garage for air idle valve, injectors etc. but still a problem! Have just found out that GVs are a bit prone to carbon build up in the throttle body - mine was almost blocked - it now feels like a different car.

Check if there's a spark in the cable going to the distributor. If there's none then you may have a problem in the ignition system components. A defective air flow sensor can also cause a no start. If spark is present, you may want to visit the fuel system of your car.

check the starter relay & you should always carry a spare anyway

Usually answered in minutes!
use a scan tool, pull the DTCs if any, any errors stored/ y/n? is the check engine lamp on, running.? also the top stall reason (after a tuneup) is sticking open EGR valve (clean it) or ISC idle valve. (clean it.) can you save the stall, easy with right foot action?
loosen gas cap, if wrong gas cap, missing the vacuum breaker it will stall engine. btw the ECU will report the loose cap , so this is just a quick test if it refuses to start.
need more input, , can you save the stall? easy? ISC dirty. tad hard, EGR leaks,, impossible , lost spark or lost fuel pressure.
No can not save the stall, put on a new gas cap. Its crazy I can drive around like no problem and after a it just like runs out of gas but if I wait 10 minutes it starts right up.
