wow you have replaced a lot of stuff ,,so you are not getting spark ....was the reason you replaced all this because car was not starting?? could you give me a bit of background? did car die on you while driving??
have you checked t-belt make sure it is ok? chk cam timing? any codes?? if you got no spark dont waste ur time trying to jump start car it still wont start,,,all plugs at dizzy are properly plugged in? if you replaced ignitor did you make sure to reconnect all the wires properly i have seen that happen people connect ignitor wires to wrong place

C uR eX,

I recently have a similar issue with my old 87 LXi, 4door, Fuel Injection (still good condition though) and I went through all these stuff and replaced a whole bunch of stuff just like you did i.e. caps, cap's rotor, main relay, spark plugs, spark's wires, and some fuses due to the fact that my car won't start. Meaning, I can hear the "cranking up, but it won't start up at all." Anyways, in the end, I found out that it was my "ECU", and so I went out to a Junk Yard and was able to find an ECU for my car. Now it's back in bussiness and running like normal. Hey....it won't hurt to go to a Junk Yard and find one for your car. My ECU only cost me like $16 and I'm pretty happy with it. I'm not an "expert" on cars, but at least that solved my problem.
