Could be the low-fuel light is out and you ran out of gas?
Whatever it is - good luck!!

could be alternator/battery if your steering started to go.. your battery could have just enough juice to turn the lights and make it crank.. but not enough to get it fired up.. another vx owner recently just had his optima red top die and it would crank and crank pretty hard but just not fire.. new battery and it ran good as new
i would try a jump start first.. if it starts up.. your alternator is probably to blame
EXACT same thing happened to me this afternoon. Was convinced it was vapor lock due to heat. But ended up being a blown Ignition Coil fuse in the driver's side fuse panel.
Check your fuses...
well I already had it towed, its sitting at my mechanic's shop. Tomorrow if he hasn't called me by lunch I'll stop by and see if that fuse is the culprit, sounds like it could very well be it! Thanks for the help guys

UPDATE: Well there was a blown fuse, but its the result of some bigger electrical problem. I'm leaving town tomorrow...hopefully it'll be fixed by the time I get back
Hi Thmstec,
Did you find the problem with your VX? I had the same thing happen a month before yours, and it was b/c of the ECM. I had it replaced, it worked, but then it happened again 2 weeks ago! See my post! I hope that someone knows how to fix this!
