I changed my spark plugs, distributor cap, and rotor, the car started perfectly. I drove it for 1 mile, and it stopped running with no advanced notice like misfire or sputtering it just stopped running and it will crank but will not start at all.

Hi,

It sounds like either we lost spark or fuel. Do me a favor. See if it starts if you use starting fluid. If it does or tries to, we have a fuel related issue.

If there is no change, then we need to check for ignition spark at the plugs.

Here is a link that explains how to check:

Try this and let me know the results.

Take care,

Joe
