Engine made a growling noise and died engine died, won't restart, does turn over

Thanks....the car is sitting in the parking lot of a Ford dealership right now, so I'll have them look at it. Just hope it's not too expensive (never take it to dealer for problems, but my mechanic is closed for holidays right now).

If engine sounds normal while cranking, pull the distrubutor cap and see if the distributor rotor turns. If it doesn't, pull out the distributor and see if it is seized. If the distributor only spins freely when removed, then you have either a broken timing belt or a major internal engine problem.
