Re: coil voltage (ParistsCP)
generaly it will show 12v at the positive terminal and the neg, it shows positive polarity because of electron flow through the coil, the negative will show a pulsed ground when cranking, the easiest way to check for the secondary pulse is to hook your test light clamp to the positve side of the battery then have some one turn the car over while you check the negative side of the coil, be carefull checking the coil without the cap on, i've seen a couple of coils burt up because of the lack of secondary resistance

Re: coil voltage (RonJ@HT)
I think the switch is OK, the engine turns over and the dash lights up in the "on" position.
All the under-hood fuses looked OK but I replaced the ECU fuse with another just to be sure, still no-go. There's only 1 fuse box under the hood, right?
The 2 connections to the distributor do not appear to be broken in any way or corroded.
What else might be the problem?
