My '93 Paseo recent refused to start. Battery was good, starter turns, but won't start. Found sparkplugs had no spark; finally traced it to AM2 fuse, which blew. Replaced it with new fuse, it also blew when I tried to start the car. AM2 fuse is for Ignition -- googling this problem showed the common cause was a condenser ("radio frequency interference condenser" as per advance auto) inside the distributor shorts out and blows this fuse. Sure enough, when I took the condenser out the Paseo started!

I've decided not to replace the condenser, as it's only to prevent static on the radio (there's none with it out anyway). The only thing I would've done different was I should've just cut the brown wire coming from the condenser, and left the condenser screwed into the distributor. Because I took the condenser out, there is now a small hole to the side of the distributor where water can come in. I might just seal it with epoxy, cause the condenser is a pain to screw back in.

Amazing how such a small part can prevent your car from starting (and more significantly, if it happens while you're driving, it could cause an accident as your car could abruptly lose all power).
