Do you have spark? I am thinking timing belt if no spark. If you do have spark I am not sure what else it could be.

Agree with Shortbus, broken timing belt. When it cranks over does it sound like there is not any compression??? I am nt familier with the engin but can you see the valve tappets when you have the oil cap off, if so have someone crank the engine and watch for tapppet moveoment, if none belt broken.

Sounds like the timing belt. That is usually the case when it dies while driving like that.
