Last night I took my car out after doing my valve adj. and it ran perfect for about 10 min but then I was goign down the road and it just shut off. I mean the car just turned itself off. So I pull it over and get to my gf house and take everything back off and check the clearences again and they are right on. I just cant figure out what is wrong with the damn thing. Any help would be apreciated.Thanks,

Jeff

Sorry about the vagueness I was in a hurry. THe engine is a 99 the distributor is brand new. It starts right back up. There are no codes at all. But I started it up again after trying to reset the computer. It ran fine untill it got warmed up but then when it idled it jumped from 700rpm down to about 50 and just kept looping. This also happens when I go into neutral to stop. I think I am going to check the clearences again but I am pretty sure they are ok. Thanks

sounds like a vaccume leak of some sort.. maybe you took one off for some reason or knocked one off. check all the hoses that you can see.
