Stuck in richmond

Car just stopped and will not re-start. Turns over but won't start. Any obvious things to check? Waiting on tow truck...

I'm guessing crank position sensor, if you have not replaced it yet.
Available at Advanced, Checkered, AutoZone. Around $70

$60 at AZ, Duralast brand. I'm going to pick one up this week since I'm going on a trip this weekend and don't want to get stranded.

Thanks for the help!

It was indeed the crank position sensor. Had the battery checked and cranking amps way low. Replaced it thinking perhaps this was wreaking havoc on some control module. Still only sporadic starting. Replaced CPS and problem was solved. Thanks for all the advice!
