Default just died... what could it be

i was driving my car to went about 7 blocks car ran like it always does (great). i came to a stop sign and it idled down and then it it acted like it ran out of gas. i tried startin it again and it wont do anything. i had blow by comin out of my oil air breather when i was cranking it over. i held the pedal down and still nothing. i then sprayed a lil startin fluid in the throttle body and it acted like it wanted to. the fuel pump use to be loud enough i could hear it in the driver seat, now i can barely hear it now but by feel i can can feel it pumping... i have spark only thing i have not done is check fuel pressure.. anyone got and ideas??

As always start with the basics. . . . . We all have a tough time remembering that from time to time.
