I would check these as well but your condition sounds fuel related. If the cap/rotor/wires/plugs were the culprit, it would not have started and run fine and then immediately failed. Typically these parts deteriorate over time. That said, if they have not been replaced in the past 30K miles, I would put that on the list of to dos.
