Are you saying that there is spark at the plug for only 2 seconds during start-up?

If so, then it's either the coil is faulty, or the ignition control module is bad.

For future references, instead of replacing parts until you find the bad one (expensive), take the suspected part off, then go to your local parts store and ask them to test it. They usually do this for free.

Do this until you narrow it down.
