This isnt magic. Do you know what the codes are? Im confused, you put in starting fluid and it still wont start or it starts but wont stay running? Do you have spark at the spark plugs? At the coil? Check back to us.

The only spark is between the ignition coil and the distributor wire. I put starting fluid in the engine but it seems like there is no spark at all. I am sorry I'm new on this site.I had a difficult time to answer. Thanks

The engine is cranking but does not start or run.

Ok you have spark at the coil, now check for spark at the spark plug. If no spark at the spark plug then you have a bad coil wire and or cap and rotor.
