you got faulty parts or that wasn't the problem. or installed incorrectly
no spark to plugs
Yes.
Ok, I have figured it out. The coil is putting off what looks to be a good spark, but It is not strong enough to go through the gap between the cap and rotor to get back to the wires. I replaced it and it works!!
try replacing your distributor, distributor cap, rotor, and maybe the spark plug wires.
Probably an ignition problem,start with replacing thespark plugs, spark plug wires, cap and rotor.
Defective new cap/rotor?
removed plug wire, remove spark plug, gap new plug to spec. and reinstall. Repeat for every other cylinder. Would recommend replacing plug wires, cap and rotor when replacing spark plugs.
Not if all you are doing is replacing the rotor and/or distributor cap. If you are trying to find the correct way to wire the spark plugs then yes it is very important.
Could be in need of a tune up consisting of replacing spark plugs, spark plug wires, distributor cap, rotor, air and fuel filters.
replace cap and rotor. 25 dollars tops has new cap and rotor, might be the pickup coil in Distributor.
If i understand you ,you are not getting spark out of your distributer.Turn the wording around.You are not getting spark out of your coil to your distributor. Remove the coil wire off the rotor cap (distributor cap).leaving the coil wire connected to the coil,remove the end from the rotor cap. Hold end of wire you removed from rotor cap close to a metal part on the engine.Have someone crank the engine over for you. If you see,hear,or feel a jolt of electricty,the coil is working fine. If you are not getting any fire out of your distributir cap,replace the rotor and rotor cap.This would be a good time to replace the plugs and plug wires,if you have not with in the last 50,000 miles. Peoples ideas have different mileage,but this is in the ball park.
I think you mean cap and rotor, those are ignition parts, the distributor cap sends the spark out to the plugs, it has wires leading from the top to the spark plugs, the rotor goes inside the cap, and rotates around delivering the spark to the wires in a timed sequence.
