Ignition pack maybe (the thing that the lead from the distributor runs to)
Alternator (use jumpers to another car and see if she runs)
Something funky with the throttle body (does the butterfly rotate freely?)
Vacuum lines

Good luck

When the car shut off you probably got a CEL correct? Run a code scanner and see if something pops up. I had the same thing happen to me last year and it ended up being the MAF/AFM.

I would check battery connections, make sure charging system is good. Make sure battery is good. Have you tried the 12V fuel pump mod yet?

You don't have power to the Fuel pump relay? Did you check the EFI fuse? Have you tried switching relays?
