I was doign somework on my camaro and i had the spark plug wires off, well being stupid i didnt mark them, so i put them back on and it was missing , shaking pretty bad. So instead of trying to figure out which ones were out of place. I took the distributer cap off and had a friend bump it over till you felt compression in 1 and put the cap back on and routed the plugs as the firing order goes.
1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2. well when i tried starting it up the engine would turn over then all of a sudden came to a stop like it was suppose to go off but instead came to a sudden stop it will still turn over fine but when you give it a lil gas to get her started up dead stop and keep cranking over.

THanks for help in advance

Reset the timing, start all over.

Bump the engine to #1 compression, then bring it to TDC. See where the rotor is pointing and make that the #1 plug. Follow the firing order around the cap. See where that gets you.

 

STUUPID ME had the order off by one post on the cap. Moved it and it fired right up. ill be more careful next time thanks
