try to get a new ignition rotor
have you replaced and or tested both coils? are you getting no spark on the intake and the exaust sides?
I'd call a locksmith. The ignition wil probably have to be drilled and replaced.
There is a problem in the distributor. Either the pickup coil or the ignition module are defective. It may be cheaper to purchase a remanufactured distributor.
If your battery is fully charged and the connections are clean and tight, the problem is probably that the contacts in the switch are corroded or worn, meaning your ignition switch will have to be replaced.
An ignition module problem could be the cause of your 89 Geo Spectrum not starting and not getting any fire. It could also be the pickup coil causing the problem.
I would replace the ignition module in the distributor.
== == check that you are getting power to the distributor. i am assuming you are talking about a earlier model vehicle Have you checked the ecm relay? maybe the pickup coil assy.
You'd have to describe the components you replaced. Did you use a plug and go all in one distributor or did you replace the coil, distributor, and add an electronic ignition unit? If you "fried" your ignition, it's likely you fried something else along the line too. Check all your components.
The distributor pickup assembly is typically located inside the distributor housing, where it senses the position of the rotor. It is mounted near the reluctor wheel, which spins with the engine, allowing the pickup to generate a signal for the ignition system. In some modern engines, this assembly may be integrated into the ignition coil. Proper installation ensures accurate timing for ignition.
Check the pickup inside the distributor and see if its OK. Do you have spark at the ignition coil? Check the wires. Or the cap and rotor assy.
it's underneath the rotor in the distributor. you have to take the distributor out to change it.
Remove the distributor cap and it will be bolted inside the distributor on the base plate.
To change a dual pickup distributor to a points distributor on a Chrysler 318 motor, first, remove the existing dual pickup distributor by disconnecting the ignition wires and the mounting bolt. Next, install the points distributor in the same position, ensuring it aligns properly with the camshaft. Connect the ignition wires according to the firing order and set the ignition timing as required. Finally, adjust the points for the correct gap and ensure everything is secured before starting the engine.

The pickup coil in a 1991 Chevrolet vehicle is typically located inside the distributor housing. To access it, you'll need to remove the distributor cap and rotor, exposing the coil mounted on the distributor shaft. The pickup coil is responsible for generating a signal that tells the ignition module when to fire the spark plugs. If you're troubleshooting ignition issues, it's important to check this component for proper function.
hey are located inside the distributor and function as the trigger for the ignition system to produce spark. The pickup coil monitors the rotation
That should be a 2.2 engine and no, it does not have a distributor cap. It has a DIS (Distributorless Ignition System).
