[s-cars] car died while driving

[forrest bradshaw]

was driving down highway at 60, accelerated to 110 and the car felt like it was hesitating lightly, then worked fine, slowed back down to 60. 2 miles later it started missing/hesitating agian, I pressed the gas and got no response, down shifted and heard the engine still running through the stromung, pressed gas again and got no response, then dash lights came on and the car died. would not start again for 15 minutes, once started it ran for 20 seconds and stalled, also the idle fluctuated between 700-1000 rpms then died, 10 minutes later started again and stalled after a few seconds, what happened? car is sitting in a random driveway 20 miles from home as I could not find a flatbed at midnight. 
could be fuel pump, plugs, coil pack, pos, cps? replaced pos's a year ago, hmmm. 
towed it backward 30 feet into a driveway with friends 200, and for a second heard a grinding noise, what could that be? heard it when first started pulling car only for a second,(sounded like an exhaust pipe rubbing against pavement, but nothing is hanging off car) 
also while analyzing the issues, I was turning the wheel back and forth and heard a rattle, somthing is loose up front. tierod??? 
advice on these issues 
thanks much 
Forrest
