Most of the "died on road" situations have been either dead battery or hall sensor wire problems. Have you checked the basics? Hav you tried checking for spark? Is the battery fully charged?
If you do a "wet" compression test and the compression goes up it is your rings. If it stays the same or dosn't change much it's probably worn valve guides.
BTW:I have an 85t with about 275,000 on it and compression is around 125psi at 1000ft above sea level, throttle wide open, cold engine.
