ok, i pulled into this parking lot about two weeks ago, i turned the car(94 talon dl) off, then decided to move to a different parking space, the car turned over, but wouldn't fire. i towed it home, and tried to start it again, when i first crank it, it kinda sputters and starts weakly, then dies, and after that it won't even sputter until i let it sit for at least an hour. i checked the fuel, and it's good, then i checked the spark, and i wasn't getting spark to any of the cylinders. i have another running 94 talon, so i started swapping stuff...plugs, wires, rotor, distributor cap, still nothing. :confused: i looked and looked for the coil, and finally found it, it's built into the distibutor right? anyway, does it sound to you guys like i'm on the right track? or should i be trying something else? also, can you take the coil out of the distributor, and if so, how? thanks.
 
yeah i tried that today. still no luck. so far i've swaped the coil, distributor, distributor cap, rotor, plugs, plug wires, O2 sensor, intake, and IAC motor, plus i've checked the timing belt and fuel pump, but still the car won't start. i am getting spark now, and fuel, but the car just won't start.
