Car won't start. Please help.
The other day my car was sputtering and then it died and wouldn't crank. It had fuel but no spark. So I buy a msd modded cap and use some ford coil that just looks the same as a aftermarket coil. The new coil doesn't "test" the same as the old one in volts. I tested the wires coming from the dizzy that i took off the old coil. They are 12v when you try to crank it. I replaced the rotor too. Any help would be great.
By the way its a 88 hf with a b18a1 and obd-1 conv.

have some one crank the car look at the pulley on the side of the motor .. see if its turning. if its not you snapped the timing belt ~maybe the spark plugs coulb be fouled if it was sputtering.good luck

ok well, its in the dizzy but I just replaced it and still nothing. So heres what has been replaced.
coil, rotor, cap, ignitor. plugs are good and the wires. someone saisd their is like a solenoid in the dizzy that will go out and not give my coil any amps to spark but I will still se the 12V to the coil. Is this true. THEN do I need a new dizzy?
