Car wont start, please help
ok....heres the scoop, the car will turn over, but it wont start. What happend was i had shut my car off for the night, it had been running fine all day, i went to start it the next morning and thats when the problem had started. The car is getting both air and fuel but is not getting a spark from the coil, so my first thought is that the coil is bad...so i check the coil it had the right resistences/voltages...so i checked the wiring from the coil to the comp, its fine, checked the Ignition Control Modual, its fine, i checked the Main relay switch, its fine, and i have run out of things to check, i have looked at all the fuses, all the relays, i have checked all the connections under the hood, and im at a loss...if anyone has any advice and they can help, please do

Try changing the distributor. I can guarantee that your problem is with your ignitor. I change mine every two years due to the MSD set-up. The MSD tends to burn out the ignitor prematurely.

Unless you have a meggar, you can't easily check for insulation breakdown in the coil.
