Default Car died, refuses to start.

Ok so this is the story-

Was doinh around 60kms, fourth gear
On manning road, no boost or load, just cruising. Car suddenly jerked and almost stalled, all power dissapeared and i had to keep blipping the throttle to get it off the road onto the curb.

Car cranks great, but wont start. Has half a tank of fuel-

When starting i can hear the fuel pump prime, i ripped the hose off the filter and fuel sprayed out when key was switched on. Ive checked all fuses and vac hoses ect i can see.

I ripped out the coilpacks, attached to the block and the plugs seem good. Wasnt sure about how i go about testing the coilpacks or plugs themselves, but they looked fine. Looked being the keyword.

Im at a complete loss, and being an apprentice money is very tight. If anyone could give me some suggestions on checking, or located near cannington that would be willing to have a look for me, would greatly be appreciated.

Just my luck, after having my car reversed into by the postie van!


Edit-- battery died while cranking, attempted to recharge but it seems the batterys shot. Could that be the cause?
