I was leaving my girlfriends house last night, started the car, warmed it for 30 seconds and left. Didn't drive hard on it or anything. Got onto the main road 1/4 mile away, was halfway though second gear and the car just completely lost power, sounded like a VW beetle. Instantly lost power, not drivable at all just shut down. Pulled over and the car would not even turn over. Had a friend hook up jumper cables, and found out the it DOES turn over. I was low on fuel so I put a gallon in it, and it still wont run right.

In order to even get the car to start, I have to floor the pedal, and it revs to between 300-500rmp and anything less it dies. Almost like its only running on 2 cylinders or something.

I didn't have time to check much out because I was without a jacket and it was 10shared_pm. All the plug wires were snug, the marks on the cam gears look to be lined up correctly on the top end. All the injector clips were snug. It has oil in it, little low but its in there, no shavings. Not smoke or anything from the oil cap.

Would a distrubutor just die?? I need to do a compression test im sure.

What could this posibly be? To just instantly loose power? What should I start with first or does this sound catastrophic?? I am willing to pay anyone either in person or paypal to help give me correct advice on diagnosing the problem.
