Car was running went into house came out three minutes later and it stalled. Gas is good, battery good. Turn key on and off three times and gone no codes flashing. Tried some starting fluid in intake and nothing. Turns over but will not start

First listen for the hum of the fuel pump for one second when you turn on the ignition switch. If that is okay, check for spark. Chances are real good you will find spark is missing. The real common suspect is the pickup assembly in the distributor, just under the rotor. It is a black plastic disc with a three-wire connector.

I see you posted a new question. (There aren't that many '84 Daytonas around). I posted more details on your other question, so lets stick with that one.
