I have a 4cyl 2000 4 door Neon. Only 125,000 miles. Been driving like a
champ. Turned a corner today and it just shut off. Was low on gas,
thought it might be that but wasn't. The engine will not turn over at
all. battery working perfect. Plenty of oil, not burnt, belts are
intact. Do I have a sudden lose wire? Or electrical thing?

Your asking a question that cant be answered on line. Is the engine seized
up? Have you had the timing belt replaced yet? Do you have power to the
headlamps and are they bright? If so can you turn the crankshaft by turning
the P/S pump?

WOW! Did you look to see if the motor fell out?
