Silly question - do you have plenty of gas in the tank? Just because the gauge you do, doesn't necessarily mean you do.

I found that out the hard way this morning. My car died just as I pulled into my parking spot. I let it sit, and it started right back up, then coughed a bit and died. I let it sit some more, started it up, then listened to the pump; after about 10 seconds, you could hear a sucking, hissing sound for about 5 seconds, then it shut down.

Of course, it could also be due to a little flotsam in the tank blocking the strainer since the fuel level is probably at the right height to do so...
