If you suspect a fuel issue, you may want to buy (~$40) or borrow a fuel pressure gauge. This screws onto the Schrader valve on the fuel rail and will help in the diagnostics.

No pressure: fuel pump fuse or relay, fuel pump
Low pressure: fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel pressure regulator
Normal pressure (~47 PSI): other things like ignition module, cam sensor
Thanks for the ideas. I took the day off tomorrow and I'll check in the morning for the buzzing sound and also I'll check for spark. I can't be sure yet if it is fuel related, just the way it died and momentarily restarted made me wonder. Is there a way to remove a fuel line in the engine area to see if it pumps gas?
