Exclamation lt1 died driving

i was driving my lt1(93) backfrom the gym close to my house and it just dies on me at a speed of 45mph....... i tried to pop the clutch as i was coasting no luck nd wen i pulled off to the side and let it set for a couple of mins i tried restarting it nd no luck. i looked at it today i tried starting it and it tries to turn ova but wont, nd i can smell sum fuel from under the hood. i just replaced my opti like 8mnths ago, all the sensors on the car a replaced except for the injectors nd fuel regulator and ICM. i looked at the injectors and well they have been replaced a year ago nd are way to clean to be cloged. and wen i turn the key i can hear the fuel pump kick on.... does sum1 have any ideas????

I recently installed an EWP on my car and wired it into ignition fuse. It blew the fuse and shut off while I was driving just as you described. Might want to check that first...nice and easy fix.

Sounds like an ignition issue. Could be a datached rotor.
