I need your help everybody.

I have a 1993 Ranger with the 3.0. I was on the highway and the truck died. Everything had power, she just died. She didn't putter or shake she just died. I left her over night and when I went back the following day she started right up. Drove her for another couple of days like that but she died again. Same thing.....just died. I went back the following day and she started but I could only drive for a block and then she died again. I was able to start her but she sounded like she had a miss fire. She would start but was idling really ruff. Now she wont even start. I wasn't sure if she was getting spark so i repled the ignition coil. She is getting spark to the cap for sure now but wont start. If I pull the center wire(one to the coil) she will start but then stop right away. My thought is that maybe its the ignition module??? I was thinking this since the first time when it cooled down she started and drove. I am hoping it just finally went out. A guy looked at it and said that it was the fuel pump or clogged filter that is starving the engine. But wouldn't the truck have come to a ruff stop like its out of gas if the fuel pump went out?

My sock fell off my fuel pump and it was like someone reached down and shut off the key when the pump went bad. I would not rule it out. Pulling the tank on my 91 was a bear good luck.

I had a fuel pump fuse cause that. It was just broken on one side and would make/break connection at random times.
