The car turned over right away after I swapped the wires back to OEM. But the issue was still happening after that.
Check your spark plug connections.
Check the fuel filter, prime the engine and check if fuel is working.
My solution at the moment, and it hasn't cut out since we swapped it, was the distributor. Put a new one in there and hasn't cut out since... though the guys at The Speed Syndicate think it may be the main relay that is causing the issue. The distributor is rather expensive :/
Hope this helps

Thanks K. Similar to my question for LP, did your engine sputter? Or did it cut out quickly? I'm thinking that if it was the main relay (or ignition switch) it would behave as if you turn off the car.
In my case, the engine sputters and gasps for a couple seconds, then dies, which points to perhaps the distributor.
How long has the distributor solution remained problem-free?
