Driving along and the engine quits. Gas in the tank, Battery is good. Cranks but wont start.

pick-up coil

Two items to check. The crankshaft sensor will reduce fuel pump pressure if it miscounts the RPM. The plastic strainer in the fuel tank can break apart and clog the pump intake in the tank. When the engine quits, the fuel pump is stopped and the loose particles are returned to the tank bottom.

In either case, try checking the fuel pressure at the test tap on the fuelrail.

check to see if the cam shaft is turning while cranking the engine (broken timing belt) run fault codes to find faulty sensors.

The fuel pump may have died. Can you hear it turn on briefly, by turning the key to "on"? You may have to stand by the gas tank while someone turns the key to on. It should turn on for about 2 seconds and then stop, after pressurizing the fuel system. If you don't hear it, then check the fuel pump fuse. If the fuse is good, and the pump won't run, one needs to check that the fuel pump wire at the tank connector has battery voltage on it when the engine is cranking-then, you can assume the pump needs replacing.
If the pump is working and you have gas up to the engine, you would next check the ignition system. Start that by checking for spark on one of the spark plug wires.

Any gas in the tank...?
Yes. Then
First check fuses. (Injector fuse, fuel pump fuse, head or main engine relay) It's not bad idea to check all fuses.

If all fuses're good (Not blow/burn)
-Next check spark and fuel.

this sounds like a bad fuelpump, try spraying starting fluid in throtle instead of pouring gas, when you pour gas it may not enter all cylinders it may just sit in intake galley. try the starting fluid.also have someone crank the engine while you beat on bottom of gas tank with a rubber hammer, this sometimes shakes fuelpump and make a contact to get pump going again.

Check the battery maybe the battery need to be replaced. If the battery is working fine check the starter.

yes, new pump inside tank

this workes with manuals but you can try it. have the car pulled and then try starting it as it is being pulled
