Engine stopped on highway (solid cel)
On the way home from a 300 mile road trip. About 250 miles out my engine stopped. I checked for spark and didn't have spark.
I narrowed it down to two causes:
my dizzy finally took a splat
or m timing belt broke while driving and bent a valve. And won't spin the cam which is why I'm not getting spark when I check
you guys ideas? I'm still out here stranded typing on my phone
thanks all.

Re: Engine stopped on highway (solid cel)
Bump, got home and had to push the damn car intoa nearby gas station
found an old thread saying that a Solid CEL can be caused by a main relay, or the ECU
i guess im gonna have to get AAA and get the car towed back home

A solid CEL just means you have a code stored. Until you pull the code and figure out what the code is related to the Check Engine Light is just that, a LIGHT.

Re: Engine stopped on highway (solid cel)
my ecu is stock, not chipped,
the only thing i have done to it is a manual swap, cut rp17 and bridge rp18, cant remember which.
did that about 8 months ago,
