Car won't start!

Okay, I drive an '86 Ford Crown Vic, but after owning 2 firebirds I learned that this is the best place to come for advice

Alright, my car was doing just fine until all of a sudden one time while pulling out of a local Sonic it died on me. I restarted, and it died again. From that point on it wouldn't run. Sometimes it would start, and while idling it would surge a lot, and the exhaust smelled very strange. For one day I was actually able to drive it but it had NO power and kept dying on me.

So far I've: Checked for spark and fuel pressure, both good. Replaced ignition module and ECM.

Any ideas??

Matt

possible plugged exhaust/cat
undo the exhaust before the cat and see how it runs.
