Default No Start Condition - 2003 S type 4.2 nonsupercharged

Have owned the car for the past 7 years with this being the first no start condition. Car cranked up this morning and promptly shut off. Turns over but will not fire. No engine codes so don't know where to begin. This car has been very reliable up to this point. Has 77K but is in perfect condition and have always kept it up. Any ideas where to begin to troubleshoot this?

thanks

Appears I may have moisture issues in the fuel. After it warmed up this morning, the car fired up; however, with some cranking. After allowing it to warm up, the car starts up without hesitation. I have not driven it for the past week and coupled with the temperature dipping below freezing may have set all this up. I will dump so "gas dry" in today and see if the problem goes away all together. The car has spent it's life in the pacific NW without "any" problems. I suppose being in the SE, moisture can build up due to the increased humidity levels we have down here. I am hoping the gas treatment will prevent this from happening again. Sure "hurts your feelings" to have such a car which has been "bullet proof" all this time to lay down on me without notice.

thanks for the reply/s
