Re: how to check if distributor is not bad (nosmas)
Did you check for spark yet? If not, take out one wire/plug and touch the ground strap to a clean ground. Have someone crank the engine over a few times and check for a healthy blue arc.
To somewhat check it out, you need a DMM (digital multi-meter). With this you can check the resistance of the ignition coil (primary & secondary) and the resistance of the 3 sensor coils'. You could also check that B+ is getting to the coil/igniter along with pseudo-checking the igniters input from the ECU [it should be pulsing, so your meter should register something].
