so basically this literally just happened a few minutes ago, and still exhausted from having to push the damn car home.

I'm approaching a stoplight, car rpm starts fluctuating <1k then it just dies and car shuts off. Usually i can start it back up but this time, no luck.I know it's not the battery, since i even tried jump starting it.I also still have plenty of gas in there. Maybe it's the fuel pump?Can't be a vacuum leak can it? cause if it were, wouldn't it be able to just start right back up?

oh and it's a 91' kade if it makes a difference.

AHHHhelp a brother out

Check ur fuses from the engine bay if everything is cool, switch the two green relays around that's what happen to me exactly same thing.

And if u think its your feul pump just try to hear it if it turns on if it dosent then its your pump. But first check the fuses and switch the relays

Do your lights and radio and stuff come on? I had a weird starting problem a few weeks ago. Try bump starting it if its a manual. If bump starting doesn't work you might have the same problem that I had. My battery terminals were rusted on the inner part of the ring so there wasn't full connection from the battery to the car. I sanded them down and boom, car cranks.
