Car down NEED HELP PLZ!!!!

Ok so I was pulling out of my garage today and the car stuttered for about 1/2 a second seemed to be fine and then died. Tried to start it and it didnt start after trying again it started and died. I looked around under the hood couldnt see anything. This problem came outta no where so its not like I knew something was coming. What could this be? Head gasket? or what would cause it to die as soon as it started and not start again?
Thanks guys.
~Kevin

could be the fuel pump..

my car was doing that when i bought it last month, it would "stutter" when i hit the gas more than a 1/4 of the way down. it would eventually die and wouldn't start up for about an hour. i did a fuel psi test and it was only getting 16psi when it was at idle. it died for good right after i was done with the fuel psi test. got a new fuel pump and all is good now.

Re: Car down NEED HELP PLZ!!!!

Did you just replace the opti and stuff? Before or after the problem?

Re: Car down NEED HELP PLZ!!!!

(repalced that stuff last year no problem since)
I just went out and for the hell of it tried to start it it started right up and ran fine WTF?!!!!!!!!! I must of flooded the engine? but i dont get why it died to begin with or how I'm so lost

the problem started yesterday out of the blue car stutters a little in second and fine in first at WOT

it wouldnt start once more and started up since idk whats up
opti,plugs,wires,fuel filter, fuel pump, all new hoses in the cooling system
someone said it might be my fuel pump if it is going already (granitella from summit) what would be a better brand to go with?
