Icon3 B18C1 HEADACHE!!!!!

So I just changed out the dizzy along with the plugs and wires. Car was running good and then just stalled out while test driving it in my neighborhood. This car is becoming more of a pain! Checked all hoses and vacc. lines and everything is good. No overheating has coolant. No CEL light. Need some insight before I BLOW it up!

YOu didn't say. Does it start back up? You only mentioned it stalled out. Fuel pump priming? Are you getting spark? I don't know if all this is covered under "everything is good".

I asked some other questions too.
Be specific about what you checked and how you checked it.

I checked the connections on dizzy, iacv, tps, rechecked plug wires, checked for any blown fuses. It's just weird that it's not throwing a CEL. Gonna go and see if it'll start now that it's cooled off some.

Is the "coil spring" in the cap? Sounds stupid but I have heard of people not realizing it fell out and wondering why the car wont start.

have you actually checked that you are getting spark? just because you changed igition components doesnt mean they are delivering spark.

if you confirm there is spark then check for fuel. is there gas on the plugs?

did the timing belt break or skip teeth? if the timing isnt right then the car wont start.
