Well I have lth, and my car has roughly 3/4 full of fuel. I was just driving the car normal, it literally turned off on me going 50 in the country roads of Florida. Had the car on the side of the road because I had to be somewhere early as ***** in the morning. I checked all my fuses and they all came out good. I'm not sure where else to look at

So it just turns over and doesn't start? Does it sound normal when its turning over? how many miles do you have? Could your timing chain have broken? Was it slapping around or was everything running fine...

It sounds like there is hope for it to start but doesn't. Car only has 68k. Everything in the car was running great.

Spray some carb choke and throttle body cleaner into your throttle body and see if it starts up.

So the problem was found. I jacked up the valves.
Compression test was done. Then the leak test was down after no compression was found on 2, 4, 6. I don't recall my compression numbers for 1 3 5, but was told it's good numbers.
Leak test.
1 49%. 2 100%
3 29%. 4 100%
5 24%. 6 100%

And of course timing was off as well.
