My car recently died shortly after starting. It will crank over and fires a little every 15-20 seconds.
It also pops back a little in the intake after stopping cranking it over. It apperars to have spark and fuel pressure. In the last 5k I have changed plugs, wires, coil pack and can't see any loose wires and no trouble codes found. Could something have happened with the valve train? Or other?
Thanks in advance.

May have jumped timing take the engine compression. Post results will advise. Also take a look at the crank sensor behind crank pully

I will do the compression test tomorrow. What should I look for at the crank sensor. If crank sensor issue should that not show up a trouble code?

Any other simple test to do?

Thanks
