Default Car starts, run for while, backfires and then stalls?!?!?!?!?!?!

I have not driven my car for more than 50 miles in the past month, so we get a nice day and I decide to take it for a ride before i sell it. Warm it up for like ten minutes, go for a short ride, and I am going down a hill in like 2nd or 3rd and it backfires. So i take it out of gear and it stalls. and now it wont start. It feels like it wants to turn over, but after wont. Sometimes after cranking it, it will backfire with a nice loud pop.
I checked the battery, its fine. I thought it might be the fuel relay, but i can hear the fuel pump priming.
what's next distributor, cap and rotor. I am lost. please help. whats worse is that is that it will be sold in a couple days, and it wont go anywhere
I wound it out pretty good when it was running and no break up or anything.
thanks for the help
later
Burke
