Car shut off while driving and will not run start

I have never had a problem with my car. I was driving a forty mile trip. About halfway home my vehicle started to lose power in a way. I could not give it anymore gas. It is like it stopped receiving fuel. When I tried to give it gas it stuttered and shifted weird. I pulled over and cane to a stop. The vehicle shut off right away. I tried to crank the car and it would not start. It tried to. I have a good battery. It will crank and crank but will not turn over. After about thirty minutes of waiting for the tow truck I tried to crank it again and it started. But it will not let you give it gas. It just sputters and shuts off after ten seconds or so. I think it is the fuel pump. But the fact that is started again threw me off a little. I have half a tank and always use premium. When the vehicle shut off I did not see any check engine lights come on. The only light I have is the yellow oil light. Which is because this thing burns a quart every 1500 miles like everyone who has one knows. It just came on today.
I have not started to do anything. I am still on the side of the road waiting for a tow. Any ideas? I am going to try to trouble shoot tomorrow.
