Default CAR WONT START! HELP

Ok here is how this situation all started. I'm driving home from work in 3rd gear at about 2500 rpms then bam my engine just shuts off. I figured it was the timing belt or fuel pump. I inspected the timing belt and its not broken, I couldnt hear the fuel pump turn on when i turned the key to the on position so I went on further by unhooking hte fuel line that ran into the filter and tried to start the car and see if fuel was coming out. No fuel was coming out so it has to be the fuel pump right? nope. I just replaced the fuel pumpi can hear it come on and now fuel is coming from the fuel line that runs into the filter. Still no start. I replaced the main relay in may so I dont think it can be that. if anyone has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate them. My engine is a d16z6 (p28 ecu not chipped) my mods are just a header and intake the car is a 92 lx sedan
thanks in advance
