If you have no spark, check the ignition coil and ballast resistor.
If the engine tries to fire when you turn the key to off position, there may be a short in the ignition switch.

Can anyone tell me why my 1974 Corvette won't fire even after I've replaced the plugs and wires the condensor the rotor and distributor cap and the condensor?
On a 74 Corvette, there is a primary coil inside of the distributor that is usually the cause. I would assume that the engine turns over, but no fire. While you have the distributor apart, you might as well replace the secondary coil, located under the distributor plate too, because if this is the problem, you would have to tear the whole thing down again to fix it, and the parts do not cost that much.

What needs to be fixed on a 1997 Ford Escort that shakes and then stalls when stopped for long periods of time?
Try a minor tuneup by changing the spark plugs and checking the distributor contacts. Sounds like the vehicle is burning rich which is what's making it shake and finally stall while stopped. Dirty or worn out plugs or even a bad spark due to corroded or dirty contacts in the distributor will cause this.

Would a bad distributor cause backfire in a 1983 Chevy 350?
Certainly. Check the inside of the distributor cap for any indication that there may have been "electrical arcing". Moisture too can cause backfiring. If you haven't changed the cap and rotor for a while it's not a bad idea, just out of preventative maintenance.
Why makes my AC turn warm at idle and cold when driving?

Why should you not touch an adapter's gold contacts?
The oil and acid from your fingers will cause the gold contacts to corrode.
How do you clean distributor cap and rotor?
You must have an antique car. I haven't had a car with a distributor in 30 years. Remove the distributor cap and examine the four or six metal contacts inside for corrosion. The contacts are shaped something like tiny straight-back chairs. The backs of he chairs often corrode. If you see corrosion you want to scrape it off. I used to use a flat blade screwdriver. If you can get a razor blade inside the cap without scarring something you could use that too. Try to avoid scarring or removing metal from the contacts, 'cause this can screw up the cap. Do a similar thing to the end of the rotor -- the part that swings around to deliver spark to each of the metal contacts. Again try not to remove metal -- just corrosion.
