Angry No Spark!?!?!

What's the deal... I just changed the distributor, cap and rotor, ign. coil and module on my formula and I'm not getting any spark from the coil. Strange thing is, it ran like a champ for about a week then without warning it wouldn't start... i'm confused to say the least, any insight into the problem would be greatly appreciated.

first of all you'd probably be better posting this in the 3rd gen forum

What does the car do when you crank it (used to have 85 ta)

This may sound stupid, but when you hooked up the new opti, did you make sure u plugged in the harness. Also, check the fuses.

If you replaced cap and rotor only, that could be your problem. Have you scanned for any codes? What was the reason you replaced the cap and rotor in the first place?
You can try some things with this test.

The black dot is for threads that you posted to.

Thanx for the help... I replaced the opti with the cap and rotor. The water pump had leaked onto the first one... destroyed... replaced the cap and rotor 'cuase they were the original (101k), and I cheked the connectios first hoping that would be it. I still got no clue.

thanx agian,
Daniel

PS Shoebox... thanx for the link, great stuff!!!
