Please help, dead scirocco!

Is the Hall Sender the "ignition module" (for lack of a better description)
located under the plastic cover just in front of the windshield?   Uhh, the
lblack box, I guess...?

middle of the busiest f*cking intersection in our city.  I was sitting there
at the light...when it turned green, let out the clutch, gave it some gas,
the car moved a few feet and the motor abruptly quit.  I am thinking there
is either no spark or it's not getting fuel.  I'm having it towed to my
house and I should be able to see if it is getting spark.  In the meantime
are there any theories (I realize I'm not giving you a lot here cuz I just
don't know a lot yet).  The car turns over fine...  I was concerned because
the engine just didn't sound "good" when it happened.  More specifically, I
thought I may have heard a clunk, but I am praying that it was just the jerk
from the motor dying while I was taking off.  Again, it turns over just fine
and no obvious electrical short or anything like that.
