Have you made sure that get get spark to your sparkplugs? Have you checked fuel pressure? Do you hear the fuel pump? If you get spark to your spark plugs rule out everthing else down to the dizzy. Check fuel pressure. If you have good fuel pressure might be injectors. If none open or work you might have blown your ecu

long story short, if you ever crank the car with a spark plug wire off, or are driving and have the rotor come off and only make partial contact or.. many more situations it fries the coil. autozone cheapies are like $25 and they work for quite awhile

auto-zone wanted 80 bucks for the coil and 319 for a remanufactured distributor so i said if im gunna pay that much its gunna be oem so i got one from the dealer in a day.

so i put it in and the car runs again witch is great but it sputters still so i knew it had to ignision resoning so i just picked up a set of plug wires and boom no problem it seems the number 2 cyclinder wire was actually frayed a bit from heat i guess witch inturn killed the coil from grounding out.

that will do it. autozone has two coils. their cheap one is the same china coil you can get on ebay.

your situation makes sense though. these coils are so easy to fry. keep this in mind if you ever do a compression test.

Coil was the issue in my 99 GSR. Bought all new coil/cap/rotor/plugs/wires at the same time then it started up just fine.
