Question Car just died on the Highway today

I was cruising down the highway today when all of a sudden I notice the tach just drop like a stone from 3000 to zero, but the weird part was none of the indicator lights on the dash came on to let me know that the engine had in fact died. After seeing that it took a few seconds to realize that I was just coasting I barely even felt the engine go. Earlier in the day when I was backing out of a parking spot the engine stuttered for a few seconds then went away as well. Anyway now the engine just turns over but doesn't catch at all.

Anybody have any ideas as to where I should look first? ICM? fuel system? some other relay?

Thanks any info is much appreciated!
