engine stopped while driving 200 1990

hello everyone,

my 240 had been out of commission for months until about 2 weeks ago, when I replaced the wiring harness and the alternator. that fixed all of my electrical problems, and nothing seemed to be amiss while I took it for several short drives around town.

I decided it was ready for a longer highway trip, and everything was going great until a couple miles before getting home, when I took a turn and the engine shut off. I still had power and everything electrical seems to still be working great. full battery and tank of gas.

when I try to start, all the usual noises happen and the engine turns, but there is no roar. I tried starting with the gas pedal in and even pulling on the throttle under the hood, but it seems like no fuel is getting to the engine? what do you think?

I should mention that for the past year or so the start has been a little hard, but tolerable. I'm at 200,000 miles and I presume the fuel injector and even the flame trap are factory (I bought the car at 150,000). my fuel pressure regulator and my air mass meter are pretty new.
