Need a Spot
I had just left the G/F's house last week, got about 2 blocks and the engine died. No sputtering, just went from "vroom" to nothing in .0002 seconds flat smile
Anyway, I push it back to her place and start troubleshooting with the limited amount of tools I keep at her place. Distributor pickup coil was shredded, so I order a new one. I went over there tonight and put it in, along with a new cap, rotor and plugs. Reset the timing from TDC. Went to start it for the timing adjustment, but the damn thing will not fire. I'm getting spark and fuel. I had absolutely no issues before this, it's always fired right up, so I don't believe compression is an issue. I'm going back over there tomorrow with some more tools to troubleshoot further.
Any suggestions before I do?
Thanks!

Edit- It's a '93

>>>*I had that happen once with my old D/Dragster, about 1969. Mallory Mini-mag, bad rotor.

*Got a new one, it was bad, too!

I found a used one of an old Pontiac inline six, the electrode was too long so I filed it down by hand until it fit.

That one worked, I ran it for nearly 3 years. No matter what brand a person buys, there are always human beings in the mix, thus sometimes a defect....*EB


*Beats the he** outa me!....*LOL**...
