95 240sx bone stock died getting on freeway

[bmw2002]

First time posting here. My car has full tank gas and just died getting on the freeway today. I was going about 60 in third gear and it just shut down. Suspect ingnition system but thought I would ask the pros where to start. It must have happend to some of you before.

First off, more details would be needed.

1) What services have been done to the car recently?

2) Does the car turn over, and just not crank? Or does the car do nothing when you turn the key?

3) Did it spit and sputter, then die out? Or did it just completely fail?

4) Do you have a MM or a Test light? Do you have the tools to check to see if you have ignition signal when turning the car over?

Answer these questions and it will be much easier to help you find the problem.

Think I found it. 8 pin connector on distributor has one broken wire. The plastic plug connector was broken for ever and one wire broke off. I would like to find a new plug to distributer and fix it right.

Id go to a local JY and cut the plug off. Make sure to use solder and heat (shrink) wrap it, and make sure its insulated.

Otherwise sounds like you're good to go.
