Default Disco died while driving and cannot restart

Noticed the day before it died, a little stutter on acceleration to about 35 mph but went away. Parked the truck and fired up with no problem and drove home. This morning the truck fired up with no problem, drove with no problem and re-fired up after parking. However on the way home it died and coasted home...luckily. Haven't been able to start since. The truck cranks but acts like out of gas. At times it almost feels likes it's going to fires up but it doesn't.

Any thoughts on this?

Check for spark and fuel.

I just read in another post yesterday , hook up a scanner and crank the engine. If the tach/RPMs remain at 0 the replace the crank position sensor.

Give it some starting fluid into the air filter box and come back with cranking results.
