Hi nabidcar,

Do you have battery voltage at the at the distributor Black/Yellow wire with ignition switch turned ON and while cranking?

Does the Check Engine Lamp goes OFF after 2 seconds when ignition is turned ON?

Was any repairs carried prior to this happening?

Did you check if the timing belt is intact?

Sorry for the late reply, over the holiday I have changed the Distributor and the car is working fine now. The reason I needed to change the Distributor, the ignition coil and the ignition coil module is inside the Distributor. THank you for your time and effort.
