Does it turn over? Do you have spark? Check under hood fuses. How old is your battery?

How much did you had fuel in the fuel tank? Almost empty fuel tank can cause a problems when driving to the uphill.

Check the ECU for codes. The slightly more likely reasons for sudden sputter and die on the road include skipped timing belt, blown coil, bad distributor sensor, and rotor melted and/or fell off.

If it's not one of those, then go through the whole standard "it cranks but won't start" troubleshooting drill from scratch, since that is what it does.

"While you were driving". I had my previous D15b7 croak at a stoplight,in 2016.Wound up being the distributor internals. If you haven't yet, open the oil filler cap, and crank, to see if the camshaft / valves move. It might be a snapped timingbelt,or if not the distributor could be suspect (check for spark)
