a few days ago I went to the store and on my way back the car backfired and turned off... I opened the dist. and found that the rotor had lost the metal piece so I figured put a new one in and boom so i did. It started and I almost made it home until it backfires again andturns off same way. I opened the dist and moved the shaft it was loose. I changed the distributor and the car started again and ran well. Until yesteday when i wanted to go to work it turned off on me again "no backfire". I figured ok its maybe the module or the coil so I replaced them today and no start...????there is fuel and the pump is pumping its a spark issue what could it be???????????

I'm guessing you replaced the cap and rotor when you replaced the distributor? Also, check ur plugs/wires. Or your actual ignition. Check your grounds as well, the negative cable on the battery and the cable that goes to the starter. Is the car cranking, or just clicking, or nothing at all?

check you codes, koeo and keor, may tell you exactly what your problem is. May save you some money as well, not having to keep throwing money at it.

I know it is stupid...but check the order of your wires on the distributor....if you switched two wires around....it will backfire

...and I am not saying this because I did it or anything

it has new plugs wires cap rotor, the vehicle actually started 2 minutes later turned off. It cranks good just no spark im puzzled.

maybe another bad distributer?? i got it used but it worked. i dont think a bad dist will start and then turn off when warm.

It will. The ignition modual attached to it will quit working when it is gets warm when they go bad. It will work after it cools

Thats what i thought so i bought a new module and msd blaster coil.I started the car and let it run until it died and when it did i changed the module cranked it over no start. Then i changed the coil thinking it would do the trick and no start.
I'm puzzled and by the way my module is bolted to the fenderwell not the distributor its a 94.
