RE: So I was driving down the highway when....
Did you inspect the car to look for anything obvious? Did the belt blow? Does the car give a CEL in the ACC position? Are you leaking a fluid of some sort, either transmission, coolant or oil? Did the car battery connectors just "pop out", or are they loose? Is that cable cut? Maybe the ASD relay is enjoying itself? Was there a unusual temperature indication anytime recently? Maybe your fuel pump cut off? Coil pack gave up? Ran outta gas?

Well I didnt inspect anything. All I wanted was to get to work on time. But I still had lights and the radio worked. Had plenty of gas. No unusual temperature. Just got my fuel pump changed in August. I mean it could very well be a belt...but I was just so all over the place on the phone trying to find a ride and damn traffic is so noisy..so yeah thats pretty much all I know...

It dont matter who you were talking to on the phone, or the traffic, or what you had to eat...:P The more info you can give us about how your car died is what would help here.As dneon asked, did the engine stumble at all beforehand.? Did it do anything out of the ordinary, or just die, and thats all you know.? What happens when you try starting it again.Does it crank over fine, does it act like it wants to start at all? Can you hear the fuel pump kick on when you first turn the key over to the on position.?

Cross your fingers and hope it wasn't the timing belt. What's the service history on your car? The timing belt should be replaced every 60,000 miles or so. The engine will shut off and no amount of cranking will help. Unlike the 2.2l motors parts in the 2.0 /2.4l motors crash into each other.
