Default Teg just shut off while driving. Have spark and fuel....

No lol. Car just shut off on me. Getting gas and spark. Got power to injectors. Power to map, tps, iacv but this damn car won't stay on. It cranks and cranks then will fire up and shut off and keep cranking.
I'm on the side of the road right now. Checked a lot. Even the damn valve lash. Timing is perfect, new dizzy assembly, plugs and wires... Main relay is clicking three times. Thats good.... Only cel is 21 vtec solenoid which is weird cuz I still pop vtac... Lol


Need help please...
Car also made like a loud puffing sound. And a little smoke started to come out my intake. Its almost like my exhaust valve aren't opening...

Just realized my negative from battery bolted to the frame was really loose. Bolted it back tight but same shit... Could driving it loose like that hurt something?

Dude if your having back fire threw your intake throtal body then that's the ingition timing. Theres crankcase timing and ignition timing. If you have poping coming out your tail pipe then it's crankcase timing. Or it's backwards. Lol but you know what I mean. My dude had the problem with the poping noise coming out his tail pipe when ever he would try to crank it over.

If your saying all that works then it almost has to be the timing, either the crank case or ignition.
