5 speed. i can here the pump and injectors workin. im getting no in any of the 4 cylinders.
i read a thread and proceded to remove the distributor cap. i then unbolted the transmission ground from the chassis not the transmission. turned the motor over while holding the ground close to the distributor rotor and that little spring (what is that?) to see if a spark would jump but got nothing. while writting that last sentence i wondered if it would have been more wise to unbolt the ground from the transmission and not from the chassis to do the procedure. if suggested i will do it again. anyway what wires to the distributor should i check for power, continuity, ground ect

Coil test


Ignitor test

 

pretty good info but it looks like those are two different distributors and wheres the rotor on either of them do i have to remove the rotor to get the that stuff. if so how do i take it off

 

You need to remove the rotor screw.

To make the screw accessible, remove the 15A hood ECU fuse and then flick the ignition key to ON(III)/START until the screw is visible.
