I did take it for diagnostics but did not pick up any errors. Replaced the plug cables and sensor and did the timing again. It goes much beter but there is still a jerking while driving.

check fuel pressure, try crimping the return fuel line and see if it helps

Well not running at all is great. Now you can properly diagnose.
Check for fuel pressure with a gauge - they had a common issue of breaking the fuel rail return pipe so no pressure in the rail.
Check for spark.

Also check your coil because a faulty coil usually cuts off when there's no pulse and possibly be the distributor
