engine problemes

HELP!!! I have an 88 mazda rx-7 gtu the car was running fine with no problems until one day i was driving down the road and i down shifted into 3rd to stop at a stop light when i watched the the rpms drop from 4000 to zero and the engine stopped running. The engine sounds like it wanted to turn over but it wont catch. I checked the spark plugs and i also tried new ignitors neither of which were the prob. if anyone knows what the matter or has any suggestions please let me know thanks
