Why does 1979 280zx keep dying while driving?

If there isn't any spark to the spark plugs after changing them where would you start next?
older cars would be the distributer and coil.

Newer cars have coil for each spark plugs the spark plug wire plug directly into coil then check starter and battery coil should get spark when starting car. New comment. Most now if not all modern cars with spark ignition engines have an ignition system which is computer controlled. When you suspect a fault with the ignition system the first thing to do is plug a code reader into the diagnostic socket. If you have not got one, contact a garage for advice. The codes normally start with PO3XXX, there are a vast array of codes, so it is not worth writing them here otherwise a book would be written? Modern vehicle electronics don't like voltmeters either, the signals generated cannot always be investigated by these old methods? Most diagnostics are now carried out using a Lab Scope, this is essencially a visual voltmeter, but can pick up signals which a voltmeter would miss. With a modern ignition system the DIY are limited to checking and changing ignition components, if this does not solve the problem, then professional advice will need to be sought. Check in this order, plug wire - distributor - coil - power coming to the coil .

The coil is inside. Check to see if the filter is dirty as well. To clean the coil you must remove the front panel to the evap coil. If you have a flat coil you must slide the coil out to clean it.

Why is your distributor not firing on your amc 304?
Check your coil with an inline spark tester. If no spark to the distributor check for power to the coil. If power to the coil but no spark then coil is bad. If coil is sparking the problem is in the distributor. If no power to the coil trace back the wiring to the power source (battery voltage) Check the points to make sure they're gaped properly & not burned or corroded. Check cap & rotor while you're in there also. while the cap is off turn it over and check to see if the rotor (shaft) is turning.
