still working on the same problem for those of you who have been reading my last few posts. my car just turned off on me, the battery's fine, the spark plugs were replaced, fuel seems fine, i inspected the pump, main relay's fine, ecm is fine, replaced the distributor rotor and cap and the car still won't turn on. i'm like starting to get desperate, i'm missing school and my girlfriend has to drive me everywhere in her mom's explorer w/ me paying gas. not to mention i'm looking for a job which i can't really do until my car is fixed. help please?

btw i don't think i'm getting any spark. i was told to turn on the ignition with a spark plug wire held near the valve cover. is there another way to check for spark without the spark tester (some crazy backyard method that i don't know of that will save my life)?
