Default Need Help. Car died while driving

i was going over the bayside earlier doing 55 when it felt as though somone dropped an anchor out of my car. i was cruising as normal nothing out of a regular drive. i started to lose speed so i pulled to 4th to try to get some back. no luck. bacically did this all the way down to first gear until i came to a stop. the car died on its own as it slowed down. 55-0 in like 500 feet or so. when i shifted up my rpms never climbed above 2000. no matter my speed or gear or pedel to the floor. The car would turn over no problem but i could not get it to start. to me this seems like a fuel pump problem. i checked the fuse and reset switch and both were good. I turned the ignition on to listen for the pump and all i hear is a click. no typical "buzz" or "whirling" noise. Can anyone give me their opinion on what to check out before i tear out a fuel pump. any other suggestions. maybe i missed something. anyone else have this problem. It does seem as though i get plenty spark as well as battery voltage. (checked with voltmeter) any help will be appreciated as this is my only means of transportation and i need to get it running asap. Thank you in advance to any help and replies.
