I was driving home on the freeway once, going 115 up a ramp(no one was anywhere near, it was a toll road) and my car stalled and wouldn't start. I checked for codes and got a 22, I remembered that had something to do with the timing circuit so I checked the distributor connections and one had fallen off of the ignition coil. Check for that.
