is it turning over? Try pressing the accelerator. If it starts you prob have a bad Idle air control valve. If it is not cranking try wiggling the gear selector. Just some simple first steps in troubleshooting.

Not even turning over. Just dead. It seamed like an electrical thing. Dunno. Was wondering if I could reset electrical by disconnecting battery or something? This just seems weird. I haven't been thinking it was bettery because had started fine before drive and when I turned it off was only for a few seconds before this happened upon trying to start it again.

Did you check the connections on the starter? The signal wire could have loosened up on the solenoid while driving.

Not having any engine vacuum would make it hard. Or if you have hydr-boost then the pump would not be helping. I try to focus on one fault at a time when I t/s. I would test the voltage at the starter to see if you are getting signal from the ignition. You can also pull the codes if you have a reader to see if there is an active fault.

The gear selector is firmly in park. Not able to wiggle much. Just tried jumping. Hearing a click, typically one click. Speedo and gauges are jumping a little nervously.
