s13 Sr20det red top won't start fuel / vacuum r good

Hi guys

I was driving from Glendale to Ktown but when I was around Chinatown it die on me while on the freeway I down shift n it got me to Ktown n before I got home it stop n I couldn't start it I turn it on n reg it a little n it got me home. Yes I google already I check all my fuel lines the fuel pump is working. I checked my vacuum lines n they are on the dot. I google n I was reading it could be the egi/egi pump relay n that I need to check the ground cables. I work 8am-1am the next two days n only have Friday n Saturday mornin to work on the car because I work in the night n Sunday I work all day again. So the plan is to check all engine ground wires but I need help with that when can I find them the only one I found was the one by the throttle body n I heard there's another's one by the fire way. Any advice will help?

Thank you

Wow, 23 and you didnt think about spark?

And how do you know its getting gas? Did you actually test the pressure? Just cause the pump primes doesnt mean its good

Check compression and change your plugs and get a FPR if the fuel pressure is too high

It the car getting spark and fuel then have you check for compression. Usually you suppose to do compression tests right after the car warmth up othewire you will get improper pressure tests. Have you check to see if the fuel injectors spraying fuel.. Very important
