What Happened??

Yesterday afternoon, I went to break for a red light and as I did, the car lost all power, stalled or died on the spot. Felt the car rumble a bit, then die.

I tried swapping in my spare DME relay(I already put in a new one earlier yesterday) and that did nothing. It's soldered so the fuel pump runs indefinitely, so plugging that one in, I could hear the fuel pump whirring so I don't think it's that.

I have yet to check for spark. The car cranks, but doesn't fire up at all. What worries me most is the fact that I made an appointment to have my belts retentioned Friday, as I have about 3000 miles since I put my new belts in. I'm praying it's something like sensors or a coil failure and not the worst case scenario.

Any ideas as to what I should look for? Symptoms of a belt that's skipped a tooth or slipped? Am I just jumping to worst conclusions?
