When the car won't start, check your spark - what color is it? When the car won't start, does the CEL come on for ~2 seconds then turn back off when you turn the key to ON(II)?

my sparks are good, when i turn the key none of the daslights turn on, the dash lights turn on only when i try to turn on the car, but it only cranks.

I drive a 95 'sol VTech. I had a similar sounding problem this past summer. I had to replace my distributor assembly as there was a faulty sensor that couldn't be replaced. It cost much more than just replacing a cap and rotor.

So just to clarify, the dash lights only come on when youre trying to crank the car over?
