Hi there - first task is to check for problem codes, whether the Check Engine light is illuminated or not. This "stall, no start" behavior could be a failed fuel pump - check the fuse and relay - since the fuel pump/fuel gauge sensor are an integrated assembly. Do you hear the fuel pump run, even for a few seconds when turning the ignition on? It could also be a failed crankshaft position sensor (won’t be any spark at the plugs if so). I would recommend a car won’t start inspection by a mobile, professional mechanic, such as one from YourMechanic, who will come to your location, diagnose this problem, give you an accurate assessment of damage and cost estimate for repairs.
