You replaced the entire distributor? Where did you get the replacement distributor?

linhguy

salvage yard

Does the rotor turn when the engine is cranked?

linhguy

are you getting spark at the cap or nowhere?
you might have gotten a bad distributor
some salvage yards in my area will do a 15 day warranty...

I'm not getting any spark at all I tested the spark plug and wires and nothing but I have tried to install 2 distributors that worked and still nothing

95jeremie

so your tested the plug and the wires
but did you test for spark at the distributor?
take the wires off and check if your getting spark at the distributor

Do you have battery voltage on the BLK/YEL wire attached to the igniter unit in the distributor when the key is turned to ON(II)?

Do you have an open or short in the YEL/GRN wire that attaches to the igniter unit and runs to the ECU?

linhguy

There is voltage . I checked the distributor without the wires and i'm getting spark so could it be wires?

Targa250R

What kind of wires are they? I recommend only OEM Sumotomo or NGK. Cheap no-name parts store wires are known to pull apart internally. I've had a number of sets fall apart on me straight out of the box.

linhguy

they are NGK

95jeremie

well man if you have spark at the destributor but not at the end of the wires when plugged in...
there is a short in the wires
replace them... start your car

linhguy

okay I bought new wires today and still no luck . I'm thinking its the timing belt.

95jeremie

so your getting spark all the way to the plugs now?
because a timing belt won't make spark stop at the wires...
