I had a rear control arm done. When that was finished I drove it to the store when I got a block from my house at a stop light it did a quick shake and just cut out. we thought it was the timing belt but that was fine then we checked the spraks and gas that was fine too. I will have them check the sparks again and compression again. Thanks For you help if you can think of anything else please let me know

Are the injectors firing?
Put some starting fluids in the throttle body to check if it fires up briefly.
