87 TPI 350 dies while driving........

My Trans Am dies while i am driving doesnt matter whether i am in throttle or out of it. It dies unexpectedly gives no indications or noises just dies. Car restarts fine. eith by putting it in neutral or park. I get no codes from the computer. It's got me baffled as to what causes it. Please help... gotta get the car ready for a cross country move.

I would check either the coil or the ignition module.

Could be fuel pump? Check to see if you're getting fuel
