Ok. Transmission's rebuilt. Break Master Cylinders' rebuilt. New exedy clutch & competition flyweel's installed. Checked all fluids & everythings full. Put in a new battery as well. Started it up & put it in motion is drives & shifts beautifully. I finally exit the 8 off college avenue & right when I get past SDSU it cuts off completely. I pulled over & give it a few minutes & tried to start it back up & nothing. No clicking sound no nothing. The lights come on & all but it will not spark. I pop the hood & the engine bay is hot. So i call triple A & tow it home. I check it to see if its still hot & it hasn't cooled down any. Can somebody please tell me what's wrong with it.
 
It was the timing belt. A rock got in there & shredded the belt. It snaped after 2nd gear. I think I was going about 30 or 40 mph.:ohdamn:
 
It's all good... It's frustrating but what can i do:confused:. I'm a have it put back on & go from there. One of my friends said i might have gotten lucky because i wasn't going all that fast:pray:. I hope so because I can't afford to rebuild shit right now:(.
 
you would be better off setting up a psuedo leak down tester since you pulled off the cams just use a compression tester and adapt it to an air compressor and pressurize each cylinder it will tell you if valves are bent.
