Motor ran fine then had trouble starting then it started the next time I switched off it would not start again.
I found out there was no spark to the plugs but there was power to the coil. There is no power going to the distributor(Electronic) Tried a used distributor and ECM

The pugs are new, The wires about a year same as cap and rotor.
The thing is there is no power going to the distributor
whe wire seems to be from the firewall area. The test sheet you sent is to faint to read. Roy
