1994 Ford Escort Car suddenly died at a stop sign and won't

I appreciate the input, Jack. Since leaving my initial question I have done some other research and looked around both on this site and others trying to determine the cause of the problem.

I saw other suggestions that it might be the timing belt, but most of the other stories that the cause seemed to be the timing belt there was some other indication before the car died/wouldn't start. In my case, there was no indication of a problem prior to the car dying. The car was driving fine, no power loss, no unusual sounds, no noticeable difference in gas mileage, etc. It simply died at the stop sign and now won't restart.

I actually suspect the fuel filter and/or fuel pump. Is the fuel pump on this model inside the fuel tank? Where would I find the fuel filter?

Thanks for the instruction, Jack. I found the fuel filter and replaced it. No go. I have checked spark and we're sparking.

When facing the engine, the timing belt is under the black cover on the left side, right? I would have expected other symptoms before the timing belt failed. Would it have just failed without warning?
