On the way home today, my car just shuts off. No warning signs at all.
As i was coasting, i put it in 2nd gear and let the clutch out. The rpm raised to like 4500 but the car still wouldn't start. So i get to a parking lot and try to start and all it does is turn over. I reached over and unplugged the ecu for about a minute then plugged it back in. Nothing.....just turned over. I can hear the main relay and fuel pump. I put a timing light on hte no.1 sparkplug wire and the light didnt come on when tring to start the engine. This is where i need your help. How do i check the distributor to make sure it is ok. I just replaced it about 1 month ago.
I have access to a multimeter.

Thanks in advance

sounds like the coil is over heating......does it turn on after it sits for a while?
 
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am an idiot. I placed my blow off valve in a bad spot and it knocked one of the distributor plugs out of its socket. I am waiting on my flange so i can put my new greddy type s in the right spot.

Thanks for the reply though
