Should have spark? Have you checked? You need three things for it to run: compression, spark, fuel. Do you know how to check for these things? How long is "a bit" before the car shut off?

Re: car wont start after shutting off???
sounds like something in your distributor went. everything turns on, but your car wont start, same **** happened to me, replaced the distributor and off I went no problem anymore.
I was luckily at work at the time. Got all the way to work, and bam, motor started to slowly die. I didn't get any lights though, but then again, my check oil light NEVER comes on, so I dunno if that **** happens or not.
Get your dizzy checked.

Re: car wont start after shutting off???
the dizzy is pretty hacked.
running 3 yeard old rusted msd external coil with a cut off internal coil connector so i cant even put it back to stock.
the plugs were soaked with oil, one plug wire is burnt out n cracked inside the tube connecting to th e cap
and the cap has leaks/cracks.
honda has been hit in the front 3 times and is still good, and the crankshaft bolt came out one night on my ex and timing went off and well it got fixed etc....
shuld i just get rid of this ****ing shitbox for 400$ + free toe ??? to a junk yard.
if i were to try n save the car, i would need a whole load of parts n $ tbh.
