Default Help Please!!!

I am Have no clue whats going on with this car. It used to run fine then when you drive down the road it just cuts out like someone turned the key off and then wont start back up, just turns over and over. I have so far tried the fuel pump, has good pressure before and now has excellent. Then checked things out and found it is not getting spark when it happens. it has a new MSD opti and MSD blaster coil, so the last thing to replace should be the ignition module right? well put that in and it does not do anything just turns over and over, not so much as a fart out of the damn thing. Any ideas? I am done throwing money at it....

No lights on the car, will check the fuses. and see if there is anything up with those. I really hope that the MSD opti I spent $515 on isn't going bad, its been in the car for a year and a half and I have maybe put only 1500 miles on it since...
