I started my car. I went out about 5 minutes later to leave and as I
was backing up it stalled. I tried to start it and now it just turns
over. It acts like it is out of gas. It is 19 degrees outside. What
could this be?

Not likely, but water in the gas froze?

More likely - timing chain / belt?

It *could* be many things. Failed fuel pump and broken timing belt
probably top the list.

I believe the 94's had a timing chain but I agree if it does have a
belt, that it's highly likely that it broke.

It has a timing chain not belt. When you turn the key you can hear the
fuel pump come on. It finally started last night and I was able to
drive it with no problem. I just hope it doesn’t do it again
