1994 Dodge Ram 6 cyl

My van stopped running while at a light. When I press on the gas it stopped & would not start running. It would turn over. Wanting to start but couldn't.
It was on E, but I drove approx. 10 miles put some gas in it then drove about 3 miles after the gas station then it stopped & won't start.
We thought it might be fuel line freeze up, but my husband was able to get gas through the bleeder. Its been over a day & its still not starting.
He changed the plugs because someone had told him that he fouled out the plugs when trying to restart it.
What else could be stopping it from running?

We replaced the fuel pump 2 years ago. Could there be ice within the fuel injectiors?

Pump is in the gas tank, if you run around town with less than 1/4 of a tank, the pump can overheat, then you refuel and the cold gas knocks out the pump, very common problem for vehicles driven all the time with low fuel. Test the fuel pressure! Pump can go bad quickly! 2 years old really means nothing.
