Default Car not starting

This is the first problem I ever had with my civic. Today, when I got home from work every thing ran fine and usual. Then when I pulled in to my driveway, I put it in neutral, and felt like I drove in to some soft sand or something, then I put it back in drive, and then as soon as I put it in drive the car stalled. I tried to start it again in neutral and in park but no. The car does roll over as usual but the engine isn't straring. Im thinking maybe the fuel pump went out but not positive. Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly precciated.

Dude, is your car clicking at all? This is probably a completely different scenario, but i'll post it anyways just in case. My car did this about a month after i bought it. I drove it around all day, starting and stopping the motor about 20 times. Then on the last try, it wouldnt start, it just clicked. And it wasnt the normal "car won't start" click, it was like static in my stereo and stuff. Anyway, long story short my battery had taken a dump on me, and thats all that was wrong. Just a thought to check out
