always start with your dizzy, it might be 6 months old but that doesn't mean it didnt take a **** on you.

I believe its a aftermarket dizzy. Gonna try replacing the dizzy with a working one. I lost the receipt for the dizzy so I can't replace it with a new one. Could it be the ignition switch also?

Got the car to start. Changed the ICM with one from my old working dizzy and the car fired right up.
