Hadn't heard of it stopping while driving, but CPS is not my area of expertise. I had a 911 cab that exhibited the scenario I just mentioned, changed the CPS, and it was fine.

In situations like yours, go back to the basics - gas, air, spark. Do you smell gas when you turn the engine over?

Does the gas gauge work? Do you have gas in the tank?
Agree. Get some spray start (Diethyl ether) and spray in air intake - if you don't get at least a "cough" out of the engine, chances are you have no spark. That stuff pretty well ignites if you snap your fingers.
