Starting issues

Ok well I've had my car in storage for a few yrs and went to get it out. It started up fine once I put in the new battery. It was running really rough but worked. I towed it closer to home and it started up again running rough. So I disconnected the temp sensor and low and behold the car ran like a top. So I figured I needed a new temp sensor and was good to go. Left the car overnight and came back and car would not start at all. I decided to change the spark plugs and then tried starting it up again but I have no spark and probably didn't the first time after sitting for the night.

I then replaced the distributor cap and rotor and also the coil but to no avail I have no spark. Any suggestions as to what might cause it to have no spark. I'm thinking a corroded wire or starter wire or maybe computer???? Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks

Maybe the ignition control module.

Spark Of An Idea

Disconnect the 4 terminal connector at the distributor.

Is there any spark now?


Happy Racing!
