i have a 1988 iroc tpi 5.7ltr this morning i turned my car on, and as i was warming it up all of a sudden it turned off, i tried turning it on again and nothing. so i check for spark and ZERO spark at the coil. ok so i buy a coil, ignition module and still no spark. next day i say screw it im buying a rema dist. as i was taking off the old dist. i noticed that the pick up coil was all broken. so i figured that would be the problem so the dist i bought came with everything from the ignition module to the coil pick up. i install new distributor, and still no spark. so im going crazy trouble shooting this. i really appreciate any feedback. thanks for the help in advance. pls email me as im using my neighbors computer, but i have an android phone which i receive email. saldav420@gmail.com

 

Have you got 12V at the coil Pos +?

 

agree with vetteoz, check for power at the coil, then try wiggling the connector on the coil why trying to start. I had an intermittent stall/no start on a fireturd that ended up being the terminals were loose in the two-wire coil connector.

 

How do I test for 12v? could someone explain in simple English, going to be trouble shooting it some more today. any other help will be highly appreciated.

Thanx you guys ROC

 

The two wire plug that plugs into the ignition module from the coil, unplug it, turn the key on, you should get 12 volts at both terminals.
