Fuelpump, Electrics, Idle Screw Tune, Valve Tune, Distributor Timing, Cam Timing, Blown Headgasket

etc

head gasket isnt blown, ive tuned the valves to the loosed before it starts ticking and the, if you are talking about the afr when you are talking about the idle screw, that is around 15 in the green when it warms up, how do i check any of those other things

I have same exact problem. When I kept giving gas to keep the car running for like 2 minutes, the engine made popping sounds and shut off. Perhaps few parts are worn so they broke, but idk how to replace them

Electrics - i.e the ignition coil which in game is just labled electrics. Distributor timing is its own thing, look on the wiki about how to set it. Cam timing is simple, pull the timing cover off and align the crankshaft and the camshaft gears with the tickmarks on the block.

take the parts to fletari and he'll fix them, if they are anywhere in his visinity, a new part will pop up on the shelf in his shop. as for the popping, the afr could be to lean, also i figured out that the reason it shut off is the distributor, i just unscrewed it and tuned it by just scrolling downward by like 20 clicks and it worked just fine.
