Before this my car ran great.
I started my car a couple of days ago and it sounded good, then when i started to take off i got aout 35 feet and i felt a sudden loss of power and the engine just faded out to a stop. The lights dimmed a little while it did this. After the car was dead, the lights were ok again. I tried to start it and I could hear the starter trying to turnover the car, but I hear no combustion, like it's not getting gas. I had a guy jump my car to see if it was the battery, but with a full charge nothing happened still. A couple friends are saying it may be either the fuel pump, or the rotor in the distributor. I wanted to get some good advice from someone who is very knowledgeable with MR2's. If you think you may know what is wrong with my car please let me know, I would love to be driving again. Thanks.
By the way, I read in another thread about "dizzy" what is that?

P.S. It is a 1992, NA, 5spd, with the 5S-FE engine.
