while backing out of driveway i lost spark and fuel!?!? what happend

started the car warmed it up and on the way out the driveway the engine shuts off.. I thought i just killed itor something(6 puck clutch). so i went to start it again and it cranked over but i noticed the tach wasnt bobbling so i knew the secondary coils were not sending spark. i also noticed the engine was not bogging while cranking as fuel was being fed because there was no fuel being fed to bog it down. so spark and fuel lost... randomly. and all fuses under the hood check go. any ideas?

if all the under-hood fuses went, you probably have some major electical short

check all the wires

Check your Air Flow Meter. If it screws up it can make you lose spark and gas.
Otherwise, make SURE all your main fuses are good, and the ENGINE fuse in the interior fusebox is good...

i found out it was the engine fuse that blew. what i cant figure out is why it blew. i worked on wiring all day and got nowhere. then just figured it was a near 20 year old fuse maybe it got weak so i replaced the blown fuse and started it and is kept running. thats fine and all but how do i trust driving it now?? lol i couldnt find a wiring short anywhere and the main relay seems to work still. im goin to be angry if the engine fuse blows at an intersection somewhere.
