Default Car died, need help troubleshooting it.

This is a double post from the engine/tech forum, but that one doesn't seem to get much traffic, so I'm posting it here too.

91 Integra LS:

I was cruising on the highway at about 65mph the other day and suddenly my engine lost power. It was still running, but I had no power to accelerate. I downshifted to 4th and floored it, I was barely holding my speed at 45mph, and the engine didn't get louder like normally at WOT. I tried putting it into 3rd and doing the same, but it just slowed me down more. I shifted back up into 4th and just held it at WOT for as long as I could. The car gradually slowed down more and more, until eventually I just stopped it with the brakes. As soon as I came to a complete stop the engine stalled. I tried starting it back up right away, and it ran for a whole second, and stalled again....it hasn't started since.

WTF could be wrong with my car? Its getting spark, there is fuel pressure (not sure how much) I didn't run out of gas, the timing belt isn't broken, and the engine cranks with the key....

Any ideas would be GREATLY appreciated.
