My car doesn't want to start. Ignition coil maybe?
95 GSR.
Stock motor.
Haven't played with the car in the past 6 months.
I took my dizzy apart and the rotor looks like this:

Stupid question since I plan on replacing this either way... Is this normal wear?
I also tested the resistance between terminals A and B and it came out to be 0.7 ohms. The bible says I should be around 0.6-0.8 ohms. Looks normal to me.
Between the A terminal and the secondary winding terminal I have 10.7k ohms, right below the 12.8k ohm minimum.
Is my ignition coil really dead? Is there anything else that could have cause the car to not start all of a sudden? I can't think of anything else to check before I bum a ride to the dealer 30 miles away for parts.

Not sure about the rotor but replace it anyway wont hurt...
as for the coil I killed one doing a compression test and when i was testing it the numbers came back that it was good but once i replaced it car fired right up... it probably is bad

Yep.. coil is in spec..
Try testing your ignitior..

How did you determine your not getting spark?
Any cel's?
Can you hear the fuel pump prime?

Thanks for the link Jimmy. I tested it by taking out a spark plug and cranking it. The coil isn't in spec at 10.7k ohms, but yeah, I just checked the coil and it has a small burn mark on it.

Looks fishy? I'm about 80% sure it's this thing unless that little burn mark is a normal thing.
