I think it died.

Well, i was driving, just driving, not racing. I start to slow down, and then all of a sudden, nothing. Engine cut out. Go to start it back up it trys to turn over but it sounds pretty ugly. So me and my friend push it home, and leave it for the night. The next morning, i went to check if it would start, it did, but it sounds like a lawnmower chewing a rock. Later that day i go and try to start it again, and nothing, it cranks, but nothing.

So, my question is, Is my TII swap happening earlier then i thought it would?

Sounds like it, do a compression test, even a ghetto one will work at this point.

Take a plug out of one housing, crank engine, listen for 3 even pulses, reinstall plug, do same with other housing.
