Default EF wont start.

This morning the car was fine, no problems. im on my way to skool and right when im getting there the car wont go anymore. i thought it was on neutral so i put it back in gear and stepped on the gas hard but it wouldnt move.. so the car just shut down. i thought i was low on gas because the car made a bubbly noise so i put in some gas and still nothing, it turns over, and sometimes it'll turn on but the car will start to shake a little and make a bubbly noise. PLEASE help me out!! im guessing its the fuel pump?

Do you keep up on maintenance?
Not just oil, but ignition components, filters, etc?!?

Will the engine start?
If no, then it Might be the rotor as already mentioned, but maybe the timing belt snapped or the ignitor module died..

It might actually be a lot of things.
Really have nothing to go with since you don't maintain it and the description of your problem doesn't pinpoint anything.

Have you had a check engine light while driving before this?

Go down the checklist of what an engine needs to fire up...

air
fuel
spark
compression


... if all of those check out then you should be firing.
