Help needed

Lately my car has died while driving it down the road but mostly it happens when i was stopping. then 99% of the time the car wont start back up. Usally the belt just turn and it cranks and then i let it sit for a while and it will fire right back up. most people usally think its the fuel pump but i just put a new one in 2 days ago. (and i hear it running when i try to start it up and it doesn't)

Could be one or all of these things:

-Bad spark plugs
-F'd up ICM (Ignition Control Module)
-Bad plug wires
-Bad coil packs
-Clogged fuel filter

How many miles on the car? Any of the stuff listed above been service/replaced recently?

a bad ignition module can do that also only real test for those is a swap test as the testers don't introduce heat (the main culprit when they fail)
