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.

What is the firing order n a 1991 eagle premier 3.0?

Actually, in 1991 AMC/Eagle had a production cutoff where the early 1991s had a regular distributor, and the late 1991 models had the distributorless ignition system. Another source indicates that only the Canadian models had the regular distributor type system. So... depending on whether you have the distributor type or distributorless type, the firing order would be: Distributor type system: 1-6-3-5-2-4 (distributor rotation is CLOCKWISE) Distributorless system: 1-2-3-4-5-6
