I was driving to the bay area when about half way there my check engine light came on and my cruise control light was flashing. I was on my way to get the code read, when luckily i was pulling into a gas station when my car just stalled out (im just glad it didnt do it on the freeway). At first i was like oops i stalled, then when i tried to start the car back up it was a no go. I noticed that when i turned the key into the on position i did not hear my fuel pump prime, so i figure it has something to do with that. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions as to what the problem is, or has this happened to anyone else? My car is currently sitting at a shop, but wanted to get any possible feedback. Thanks.. Hopefully everything will be fixed so i can get back to reno so Kspeed can put in my new goodies.
Find out what the CEL is. Probably a lean code, but maybe it will give some insight into the problem.

Besides a bad fuel pump, there is a chance that the level sender is screwed up. The ECU shuts down the fuel pump when the fuel level drops to near empty to protect the pump from overheating. Try filling it up with gas and see if it starts. Seen this before a time or two.
