Re: car wont start
Check for spark. Check for fuel. Most probably one or the other is absent.

I solved my no start issue, i had a bad fuel injector, you may want to check the ohms on each one.

Re: car wont start
Had a guy to look at it today, he said that it isn't getting no fire to it. Could it be the distributor?

Re: car wont start
There is a an electronic module when you take off the distributor cap. You can take the module to an auto parts store to see if it is working properly. The cost would be about 40 bux to replace.

Re: car wont start
Check the ignition module, if that's good replace the coil.
