honestly, take it to a shop. No offense, but the way you present yourself, it doesn't sound like you know what your doing under the hood.

Regardless of where it goes for work, you, or a shop is going to have to scan the car for fault codes before you try to do anything. Its the only way you'll really know what went wrong.

I also say take it to a shop.
Not worth the risk of more stuff going wrong.

timing belt is my first guess. have them remove the timing belt cover and see if there is play.

That would be my first guess as well. Like has been discussed. When you hit 60K you better be serious about changing it. It can go without warning and the symptoms as described are exactly what will occur. Spend $700-$800 now in preventative maintenance or $5000-$7000 after it breaks.

thats what my baby did to me, sounded like it wanted to turn over but no cigar. did you hear a slight ticking sound right before it happended? i thought it was the fuel pump too but i wasnt that lucky. you will be able to tell if you take the timing belt covers off and check for play.(and look for any missing teeth on the belt) also a compression test will tell you if it broke as well.
