there are 2 fuel pumps on the car one at the tank and one in the engine compartment
could be clogged fuel injectors or a fuel filter.
Your injectors stopped working because either they have failed and need to be replaced or else there is inadequate fuel pressure to open them.
Depends on what you did before the car stopped working. Could be a bad ecu could be the optical encoder in the distributor maybe a bad fuse. Make sure all engine harnesses are plugged in, make sure you see the check engine light when you turn the key to ON and check the inside of the distributor for cleanliness.

It currently when you finished running you had to stopped
Try running some fuel treatment through, the injectors are prob. stopped up. if that does not help change your fuel filter. other problems may exist like in your plugs and wires.
I have a 98 Jeep Wrangler that kept generating a timing problem codes, after changing the crank sensor and timing module in the top of the distributor, I took it in and they changed out the distributor and stopped the check engine light from coming on. The CPU timing specifications are so tight that a little wear in the distributor shaft starts throwing codes out. It ran fine just kept throwing codes, a rebuilt distributor fixed it.
I'm not sure I understand your question. The ignition module is suspect in this case and yes, it's under the distributor cap. You may also want to replace the distributor cap and rotor while your at it, they're cheap parts and hair-line cracks in a distributor cap can be hard to detect. If all of these fail I'd look at replacing the coil and coil wire to the distributor.
My car did this. I took it to get the heads de-carbonized and the fuel injectors cleaned out and it stopped doing this. Most likely it was the fuel injectors causing the problem.
