Default help car dies when driving

hey guys, i have a 95 Mustang GT with 122,000 miles. well here it is while i am driving the car it will die on me and i have to wait a little while before it will start up again. i got a few suggestions on what i might be from my friend but wanted to get some more advice. we think that it is either the fuel pump going bad or the PCM and possibly the rotor. soany suggestions or advicewill help a lot. thank you in advance!

just to clarify, its the PIP module, not the rotor.
distributor must be removed and disassembled to replace it.

As he said, check the PIP, also possibly the ignition control module ((TFI) can be checked at Auto Zone). Need to check for spark and fuel immediately after it stalls and won't start. Could also be the fuel pump, or fuel pump relay heating up and shutting down.
