Hard to tell with the info we got but my car did this a couple different times. Once it was, eh, just the fuel filter clogged. The other time,.....the timing belt jumped. So it could be just a $20 fuel filter, or it could be $500 in parts for a T-belt/water pump job. Ya need to diagnose it a little bit to find out if ya have spark and/or fuel getting to each cylinder. Even though the CEL isn't lit you should check for codes anyway incase any are stored in there. I would check for spark first then go from there. Does it idle and then die when you give it gas or does it just not run at all?
