I just recently bought a 95 LX wagon with 196k miles on it. I drove it for like 2 weeks with no problem what so ever. a week ago I changed the spark plugs, dist. cap and rotor, and the valve cover gasket. After that it ran great for a few days and now it won't start. I don't think I'm getting any sparks so I checked the coil. the resistance was 0.01 and according to my manual it needs to be at 0.06-0.08. I replaced the coil with a cheapie from Autozone but still won't start. The new coil read 1.10 or something like that. Could that be bad too?? Is there anything else I should check?

 

Correction: normal resistances is 0.6 - 0.8. and new one is 1.1

Thanks that a great help.

I'm going to try the main relay.

 

Ok, Main relay didn't work. So the only thing left is the igniter. Instead I just bought a re-man distributor (lifetime warranty). Swapped it out and it fired right up. Waiting for a timing gun from a friend and then I'm back on the road. Thanks for the help, TECH8..
