This happened to me in my 2001 V6. Driving along, no problems, and kabam - I lose all power. Turning the key only cranks and cranks, but it won't catch. CPS failure is temperature-dependent. If it is the CPS and you let the car cool off for a while and try to restart, it will start up as though nothing ever happened, until it gets hot again, that is. It is possible, however that it's the fuel pump. If you have the car in OFF position and turn it to ON but don't start, you should hear a faint "whirrr" as the fuel pump pressurizes the lines. If you don't hear that I would suspect fuel pump. CPS is a much more common failure mode though, and at your mileage sounds about right. Mine bit the dust at around 165k miles.
