last week i was driving my car to work and it acted like it ran out of gas. it didn't i have a full tank. i then replaced the fuel pump and filter. the car still won't start. any advise , i'm desparate. ps it's not the starter and fuel is getting through to the filter but i don't know about the injecters, do they just clog with no warning?

my car did this when my Camshaft Position Sensor went out. Luckily I knewwhat it was when it happened. It could be an option for you, but I'm not 100% sure. I don't know if there is a way to test it. Do you ahve a CEL?

i know you can pull the electrial plug off each fuel injector and test to see if they are getting voltage.

check them for resistance...I believe it's ~17ohm resistance per injector. check ur compression while ur at it. ~170psi per cylinder is about average, i think. As long as the least is no less than 10% below the highest.

The Fuel pump switch located in the trunk and accessed by a removable panel could have tripped if you had a sudden jolt. Just press the button on the top to reset it.

Check The Timing Belt. Take The Cover Off, If It Is Still On, Mark It With A Marker, Turn The Engine Over And See If It Changed Position
