I've replaced the coil, the ECU, starter relay, I've set the air gap in the distributor, still won't fire at all. It's getting plenty of gas. I removed the coil wire from the distributor and held it close to the block to check for spark, but when my wife turns the key, there is only a small initial spark, and then another single spark when she releases thye ignition. While turning over, there is no spark in between...HELP!!

Hi:
did you check the pick up coil in the distributor?
