I am not really a mechanic, but in this case I would check an exhaust
system as well.
It might be just a clogged catalytic converter, I've seen this case
with my own eyes and symptoms were exactly the same.
Just my 10 Cents
Good luck.

Fuel pump may be shot.
check the fuel pressure.
Do you have an inductive timing light? clip it on to the wire and try and
run the car. If you see the light go off before the car dies, the car is
cutting power to the spark through the ECU.
If not, the ECU is cutting fuel, or you have a problem with fuel delivery
(clogged fuel filter, malfunctioning fuel pressure regulator)
