Well. The dist. Came with all new internals too. Its all new.
We got a new main relay today. It did no good.
Also, the dist spins and so the timing belt isn't jacked either. Like, we left the casing off and watched it.
We checked for spark at the wires actually. Just won't happen.
We checked fuses, the ecu fuse is the hazard fuse right?
All fuses seemed fine either way.
Ill check the thermostat ground... See where that goes.

DOES THE FUEL PUMP PRIME. Sorry for the all red caps, just trying to get your attention because you have avoided answering this key question.

If the fuel pump primes, the thermostat ground is fine.
Check whether the Blk/Yel wire attached to the coil and igniter unit gets battery voltage with the key in ON(II). If so, resistance test the coil and have the igniter unit tested at an auto parts store.

Hey RonJ. I tested the black/yellow wire on the dist today.
I did get good current.
Now, I have to check the ohm stuff and send that piece in as well.
Oh hey guys, what does the blue wire to the dist. do?

Mmk.
Also to test voltage at a spark plug wire... Just curious, could we use one of those LED voltage lights to see if it's getting a spark? Or would it burn that little light out?
Just to be absolutely sure it's not getting a spark(as the issue).
I'd grab the wire if I were more brave...
