Hey guys so heres whats up... I live in FL now and I started my car like any other day to leave school. It started right up put it in gear (5sp) moved 10ft and it died and just cranked and cranked and cranked. Had to towed home and I have no spark. Started with checking the new plugs (NGKs) nope there still lookin good, wires were new as of 3 weeks ago, coil pack resistance is right on with the service manual, the only thing thats funky is the transistor. You are supposed to hot wire it with a 1.5v batt to check the transistor so I pulled it off and with the 1.5v batt hooked up to pins 3 and 7 I should hook my Voltmeter up and have continuity between 3 and 8 and with the batt disconnected I should have no continuity but guess what I have continuity with or without the batt hooked up. So I ordered a new one from carquest got it in and it read the same, but the package was opened too (it was pre-used) so I returned it and ordered another one but I'm not 100% sure thats my problem.

The pump is kicking on with the engine is cranking, I have no idea if the injectors are kicking on, I know compression, and fuel to the rail but 0 spark. Any Ideas, anything would be great right now... Thanks alot

Kurt
