    it might be a bad coil? I would go hit up you local J/Y and swap it out and see what happens

        Got a coil from the j/y and I put it on, still nothing. Getting no power from the coil it seems like. Used a test light and was able to get power to it tho. Dont know where to go from here. Think I might end up having to take it to the dealership to have them check it out. Any other suggestions are welcome.

        Thanx for all the help

          That would be either your distributor, or your Ignitor. Also check the wiring, there is a very important ground below the coil, it's two or three wires that splice together then one wire grounds to the tranny. Your ECU could also cause the no-spark issue.

            test light doesnt mean crap.

            get a voltmeter and see exactly how much the coild is outputting. Could be weak.

              I might try that... But do you think that my luck could be that bad as to having 2 coils that are weak?

                      could be a VAF connection problem, i've burnt out 3 in my EGTs life, and that sounds like what my car was doing, i could start it...sometimes it would rev, but it would die instantly.

                      all the luck
