my car decided to stop running

i was working on my intercooler hoses, trying to get them to seal perfectly so i could boost past 10psi, and i thought i sealed them perfectly, so i drove the car and it sorta stuttered and then ran smooth, even without boost, at a random RPM, and so i adjusted a hose clamp and made sure it was perfect, started the car, and as i drove off, the car did the stutter again with around 10in of vacume, kinda strange, i drove a block and decided to take a look at the engine, and i got out and checked the engine, no leaks anywhere, and all of a sudden it started to stutter as if it had an air leak, and then it just died after about 10 seconds

when i tried to start the car, it sounded like 1 cylinder was firing, it would barely start once or twice and have 0in of vacume, and nothing would happen if i gave it gas (not moving)

did my TFI or something go dead on me? my car should have fuel/air but im not sure about spark

the wires are secure, nothing else was touched, and i've never had the TFI problem and so im guessing it's a spark issue

i went out tonight and found that my battery has no juice at all

i wouldn't have guessed considering the car was cranking perfectly fine the night it died
