It may be the fuel pump.  When the one in the G went, it had a weird
stumble here and there while driving.  I thought some of the electronics
got wet since I had gone through some puddles (although small ones).  I
stopped to take care of an errand and no start.

If you replace the pump, replace the filter as well.  Mike told me that
when the pumps go they often throw junk into the lines.  Well, I forgot to
order the filter with the pump so I thought I'd try it w/o changing the
filter since I was out nothing but perhaps a little time.  Mike was
completely correct.  It wouldn't run right.  Changed the filter and
everything was just fine.
