My 1988 Toyota Supra started running rough, and then stopped running all together. I checked for spark from the first plug wire by unhooking the wire and holding it close to some grounded metal, but there was no spark. I replaced the ignition coil, but it still only cranks over. It is getting fuel to the intake. Please advise.
