1998 Camry Cranks but dosent turn on

Asked by sammyman8 May 18, 2016 at 11:08 PM about the 1998 Toyota Camry LE

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

LE 4 cylinder
The car just died on the road the same moment the oil light came on. No
sputter or sound. the engine just cut out and i glided to a stop. It wouldnt
turn back on. The car cranks but it dosent seem like there is any spark. It
was low on oil (had about 25% of full). The belt spins and the RPM wiggles
a bit. What could cause the car to just shut down?  
Thanks for any help!!!

Fuel pump works, fuel filter is clear, and sparks produce spark.Engine cranks and the RPM dial registers the cranking.
