Re: No spark

-no spark? or weak spark?

-Did you try jumping the battery? since it sat the battery could be dead, or low enough that it will hardly spark.

Re: No spark

Did your purchase an OEM or aftermarket distributor? Aftermarket's usually don't work well for these engines. Was the coil and igniter OEM (TEC or Hitachi)?

Re: No spark

could possibly be the crank position sensor...or even the ignition switch...obviously start from the plugs and work your way back...crappy parts make for a crappy day...you've already replaced the distributor so we would love to rule that out however...the problem may still lie right there...when you put the new one on did you try to make sure the distributor timing was right...ignition timing...same same...ish....
