try to get a new ignition rotor
have you replaced and or tested both coils? are you getting no spark on the intake and the exaust sides?
I'd call a locksmith. The ignition wil probably have to be drilled and replaced.
There is a problem in the distributor. Either the pickup coil or the ignition module are defective. It may be cheaper to purchase a remanufactured distributor.
If your battery is fully charged and the connections are clean and tight, the problem is probably that the contacts in the switch are corroded or worn, meaning your ignition switch will have to be replaced.
An ignition module problem could be the cause of your 89 Geo Spectrum not starting and not getting any fire. It could also be the pickup coil causing the problem.
I would replace the ignition module in the distributor.
== == check that you are getting power to the distributor. i am assuming you are talking about a earlier model vehicle Have you checked the ecm relay? maybe the pickup coil assy.
You'd have to describe the components you replaced. Did you use a plug and go all in one distributor or did you replace the coil, distributor, and add an electronic ignition unit? If you "fried" your ignition, it's likely you fried something else along the line too. Check all your components.
Check the pickup inside the distributor and see if its OK. Do you have spark at the ignition coil? Check the wires. Or the cap and rotor assy.
it's underneath the rotor in the distributor. you have to take the distributor out to change it.
Remove the distributor cap and it will be bolted inside the distributor on the base plate.

hey are located inside the distributor and function as the trigger for the ignition system to produce spark. The pickup coil monitors the rotation
That should be a 2.2 engine and no, it does not have a distributor cap. It has a DIS (Distributorless Ignition System).
If you have the 2.2 L engine in that 99 S10, there is no distributor in that vehicle. It has a DIS (Distributorless Ignition System).
The ignition module that is in the distributor is probley bad.
The pickup coil in the distributor? !976 should be an HEI distributor. Take the cap off, unplug the wires going to the distributor, remove the rotor and the pickup coil is under the rotor and held in place with two screws.
