Help, Car just stalled

Help, Car stalled and won't start

Sorry for the long post i tried to make it as detailed as I could

This is the 2nd time it happened to me and now it won't even crank over. Tuesday my car sputtered a bit when going from a complete stop and about 3 blocks later when i stopped at a red light (thankfully off a residential street) when light turned green I tried to go and car just stalled. I pushed it off to side and tried to restart it and nothing. It would crank properly for a few seconds and then stop kinda of like a dead battery (battery should be fine, its about a year old with no leaks or anything and the voltage is fine)

Well after sitting there for an hour trying to crank it over every once and a while it finally started up but the moment i put it in first gear and tried to go stalled out again, cranked it over and it started up again first time and i just decided to let it idle for a while longer to see if any help, pretty rough idle but next time i went i put a bit more gas while in first and it went without a prob. Took it directly to mechanic who did a Scan, checked fuel pressure and whatever else he could do. There were no codes stores, fuel pressure was normal but when I was leaving i noticed that at about 3.5k-4k RPM the car would stalled out there powerwise it would not go past it and exhaust would pop.

Yesterday, got gas, started going to a friends house, i felt it kinda buck/stall out on the way there and immediatly I was like Stopped at a T-Stop started to take a left, bang, car stalled. I pushed it off to side of road again tried to start and nothing and it didn't start again after that. It will crank over a few times and then stop, sometimes will crank only once, maybe not even at all, sometimes it can crank for a while. It sounds like it's cranking and then something just grabs it and stops. I can hear the fuel pump priming everytime but i'm guessing it's dying not sure though. any help?

I don't think it's any of the grounds, i check them often (though it could be the engine block ground which is hard to check at times)



Car is a 5.0 Cobra 5speed, stock for most part (just small things like filter, performance distributor livewire kit, MSD Dizzy (stock one's pip went out), fuel filter was changed about 8k ago

Edit: just remembered never put in the performance dist Dyna Mod, just slipped my mind and then my mom misplaced it. Could the stock one be shot?

Ya, i can hear the car cranking just like normal but then it will just stop at a random time

What he said but he forgot about the pickup coil in the dizzy they will give you the same problem since the TFI module the ignition coil and the pickup coil all work together

Dizzy is about 8 months old, the previous one's PIP went out really hope the new one's not shot even though when it happened first time mechanic scanned for codes and nothing about the PIP was in there like there was the first time the PIP went out

So the problem ended up being that the Screamin' Demon Coil went out and it's only about 8 months old. The coil would move around a bit in the housing so it prob caused something inside to mess up and when we disconnected the wire from it to the dizzy it would spark from the metal base around the coil (that get's bolted down) and the car would start.
