Default Help diagnose spark problem

long story short, i replaced the coil and the ignitor...still no spark. I never thought to check my cap. So i did.


i've never seen the inside of a cap, but on the JDM cap..it has a metal tab that sticks out to make contact with the rotor. I'm guessing that the cap isn't making contact with the rotor, therefore giving me no spark. Is this the problem?

ummm....yeah. That's the worst looking cap I've ever seen. On the plus side, it's a cheap fix...

ok i got the car running, now i have another problem. When i put the new cap and rotor on, it didnt crank..just like before. On the driver side interior fuse box, i found that the ACG-S, a 10 amp fuse, was blown. I replaced it with a spare 10 amp fuse and the car cranked up. Problem is that the car only seems to be running on 3 cylinders. I started my way up to the shop and the car died, i was going fast enough to where i could get off the road. I checked the fuse again, and again it had blown. WTF is the ACG-s?
