Plugs, wires, cap, and rotor -- How old are they? Have you inspected them?

Have you replaced the fuel filter and tested the coil and ICM?

plugs and wires have all been changed out, so has the cap and rotor when i did the swap. i cleaned the terminals on the cap a few days ago, and it didnt do a thing. fuel filter is 4 months old. i have not tested the coil. what do u mean by icm?

There's a diagram in the FAQs sticky that describes how to test the coil yourself. You need to take your ICM to an auto parts store for testing.
