Engine is cranking but not firing
My car randomly the other day stopped firing. The engine is getting fuel but no spark. New distributor and new coil.

Put in a new ignition control module. These cars eat them like candy.
Be sure you use WHITE heat sink grease when you install it, I've gotten some that came with a clear dielectric grease which is not correct.
