the car dies and won't restart (it would turn over fine)




If it turns over, it is not the electrical system.

Read:Crank Position Sensor Failure Symptoms

"A textbook symptom for this problem is the tachometer reading dropping to zero while the engine is still turning. The tach gets info from the DIS system. If the engine dies due to a fuel concern, the DIS system will still be trying to run the engine. Since the tach is going to zero, then that tells you that the DIS system is not running the engine."
