When you say no compression, what exactly are you talking about. The compression in the cylinders ? Is it possible that compression is not the word you are looking for ?. It would be very unlikely that all cylinders would loose compression, it would take a extremely catastrophic failure to loose it all, broken pistons, broken or severely burned valves blown head gasket, non of these events would likely kill all cylinders at once, one or two at the most. You would have had some clue to an issue of this nature before hand, as in smoke, steam, loud knocking noise. Are there any codes stored in the computer ? Just dying while you are driving sounds more like a fuel delivery or electrical/computer issue than a mechanical issue.
