UPDATE:
today on the way to work my "check fuel cap light" went on.
after i checked that the cap was tight, which it was, the light was still on
it was on after work, then after 15 min of drivin it goes off
i have also noticed that the replacement bulb for the one that was shattered is
definatly duller and not as bright then the other fog light bulb
car has yet to die a second time

RE: car died for 1st time
Well... I can guarantee it has nothing to do with your shock/strut and fog light replacements.... you hit a bump so hard it shattered your fog light?? Thats no good! If the car is still running normally with no bad noises I have good news... the motor is not blown! lol.... since you replaced the fuel filter recently I rule that out... how bout air filter?? Really though... with the fuel cap light (i didnt know they had one) I would say mabey a sensor of some sort went out when you hit the bump... and if you have a warranty I see no reason why this would not be covered... full warranty you should have no problem.

RE: car died for 1st time
I see you have a Steeda CAI- when you installed that, did you remove your MAF screen? If so it is either that, or your IAC. My old mach 1 would die every once in a great while, and it was due to the CAI that I had on it, and I had removed the MAF screen. My GT also dies every once in a great while, but that is due to my IAC. If you removed the screen, put it back in and you shouldnt have the problem again.
