Default 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.

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.

I had a similar problem about two years ago with my chipped ecu, somehow how the .bin file on the chip had corrupted it's self and went bad.

I replaced it and viola my problem was solved..

See if you can try another ECU out.

GL!

my ecu is stock, not chipped,
