Default Car won't start?

Started my car and sat there a while trying to find a CD. Then all of a sudden it just shuts off.
I took the VC off yesterday.
I've got an EM1. Any idea WTF could have happened?
Thanks

Thanks

mmmm, not so sure how u can do it by urself....if u have a tester...try testing the cables before the igniter i believe....to the dizzy...(have ur key to the on position). I would rather have someone crank it while u check one of the spark plugs wires to see if it has spark....if not then u can start using tester to see if its before the igniter...after the igniter....might help determine if its both, the igniter or the dizzy...or might not be any of these.

Update:
Changed plugs, Wires, Cap, and rotor.
Still nothing.
Not getting any power to the coil.
All fuses are good.
Could it really be the gosh damn ECU?
