I was driving about 70mph when the car died. After driving over some bumps I heard a faint click and that was it. I thought maybe the emergency fuel shut off, but the reset buttom had not been triggered. I can smell fuel while cranking so that's not it. I lost my spark somehow. Distributor? Solenoid? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Haddon.

No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, coil's resistances, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it
