Drove less than fifty miles on off ramp car shut off. Would not start. After about five minutes car started. On my way home car stalled four different times, would not start. A gentleman that stopped to help had meter in his trunk so after he used his meter and asked me to try and start the car he told me no spark power to coil but no spark.

Hello,

It sounds like the crankshaft angle sensor has gone bad. Here are some guides and diagrams to help you get to the problem and fix it. You will need to jack the car up first.
