90 Toronado Died While going 55 mph

The car is a 90 Toro, 198,000 miles.

My wife was driving this car and it died on her going 55. Tries to restart and it cranks but does not start. I pulled the codes and got a few:

B120, B440, B552, R026, R033, R034, R061

I am thinking fuel pump as it sounds like it isnt getting fuel and she doesnt hear the pump prime up. I will test it tonight, when I get home, but my thing is, is when looking up the codes I cant find what the R ones mean. But the B codes dont look to be the fuel pump. Anyone know these codes? Or any advice?
I replaced the pump about 3 years ago with a autozone pump. After using there parts though, they seem to be junk and fail prematurely.

Thanks for any help!

Forget The Codes For Now, Focus On The Fp, Get It Running And Post Back For Addt'l Info, First Things First.

Re: 90 Toronado Died While going 55 mph

Got home last night and put my presure tester on the fuel rail and it is holding steady at 40. So fuel pumps fine. Now Im thinkig no spark, so I have a few Distributors sitting around so maybe I'll switch it out and see it thats it.
I know on newer cars you can replace the coils int these units but I dont see how it would be posssible on mine.
I also pulled all fuses and they are good. It turns over strong but no fire.

Remove coil pack and ignition module and have them tested at Autozone.Also,check for trigger signal from crank sensor with a digital volt ohmeter.It wouldn't hurt to clear trouble codes from bcm and ecm.Then run car until trouble starts.Then check trouble codes.Also,if you install new parts,you will need to clear codes before you start the car.You may want to check electronic spark control.
