It won't turn back on? Since you were listening to the radio, did that start to flicker on and off or get softer? How long ago did you do the plugs? If recent, make sure the firing order is correct.

You checked all the belts already so I'm kind of stumped. Low on gas? Gauge reading correctly? Fuel leak?

Re: what the hell?

probably a loose wire considering how much your electrical system has been worked on, someone probably just left something loose and it came off.

Do you have power? Does it turn over? My guess if the car just died when you went to slow down, I'm guessing it's fuel related cause you said that it would not go any faster judging by the RPMs and the Speedo. Try the Fuel Pressure Regulator maybe that took a shit on ya.

Re: what the heck?

I bet it's the alternator. Do you have the heat shields on the turbo? I blew two alternators and completely melted my fan because I didn't put my heat shields back on. Bring the alternator back to the place you bought it and pretend it just crapped out And if the heat shields are off put em back!
