Best Answer

Your coils make the high voltage needed to arc a spark across the plug gap. Take out each plug in turn and earth it against the engine block, if there is a bright blue spark when you turn over the engine the coils are good, if it is yellow your condenser is at fault. If spark is good your timing could be out.
