are you sure it was coming out of your exhaust not metal scraping from underneath?

wow, all im really sure of is that, that is very bad

well you dont it could be that something was lose and fell off then dragged on the highway, it could be an easy fix.

nimixes

well it would have to be a major part of your car for it to "die", chances are its not an easy fix since the car just stopped working

but yea i was doin about 75 at 3 grand. i dont believe that something just scraped the ground to cause the sparks, instantly after the sparks rpm gauge dropped to zero and the car wasnt reponsive to the gas pedal at all. all of my fluid levels are in good standing

someone told me it was the timing belt that went but if thats the case then how come i had stuff come out the exhaust?

My first guess would also be your timing belt, your sparks/flames could be coming from exhaust valves being open when ignition took place. You did not provide enough information to be sure but that's what it sounds like.

Since you don't know what happened and can't really accurately describe the problem I think you should take it to a shop.
