Check engine light on? I would think that it is or was right before it quit. Also, did you get the wires back on properly?

Deep puddle? I have a feeling that if you use an engine scanner OBD2 it will have a code and it sure seems that is could be a TDC sensor or a crank shaft position sensor.

I doubt it, I could be wrong but I don't think the timing jumped.
