Re: No spark

["jtrealtywebspannet" <jtrealty@xxxx>]

If you are getting voltage to the ignition coil take the wire going 
from the coil to the distributer out of the distributer and see if you 
are getting a spark. If you do but are not getting any to the plugs 
the problem may be inside the distributer like a bad cap or rotor. If 
you do not get any spark at all the trouble can be a bad ECU, a bad 
pick-up coil in the distributer, or a problem with the wiring. Best to 
susbstitute known good components to avoid buying parts you don't 
need. Make sure the connections on the ballast resistors are clean and 
tight.
