Exclamation Car died at cruise, need help fast!

My opti is about 3 weeks old. I was cruising down the highway in 6th when the car died. I pulled off and it would not fire up again. I got it towed home thinking the opti was defective. I took apart the car and removed the opti. It was dry and did not have the rattle that they usually have when they die. Is there a way to test it or what else could it be???

First thing is to scan for diagnostic error codes.

Update

No codes.
I tested the coil and ignition module on my buddies z. They came out ok. Could the opti be dead after 3 weeks? Any other ideas?
