I got it home and ran a battery, alternator, and starter test all checked out fine. its fine on oil, so i thought to check the fuel pump, no it was good too. I proceeded to remove the timing belt cover and valve cover gasket, both are fine! Any ideas gus? im lost

What happens when you turn the key?



Video, or at least text of the symptoms would help

Did it stop running while driving? What (exactly) happens when you turn the key? Does it click? Does the engine turn over but not fire? Were there any odd noises, smells, or other occurances before or during the initial breakdown?

if it just cut off while you were driving and its a crank no start. then i would guess cmp or ckp sensors. i've had both go bad on 2 diffrent cars that had that same symptom.
