It turns over more than one revolution while cranking doesn't it? All you need to do is verify timing ie, spark at the correct moment. For a no start condition other timing is not important. There are several ways to do this, not the least of which is a timing light. Works just as well during cranking as when running. Think about it. After all, a no start conditon is a very common problem in the automotive world. Ask any good mechanic and he'll tell you several ways to do it. See below for a few of the tricks I use.
:icon_bigg Thanks that clears up that idea a good bit. I think the main problems for mine were that :
1. The inner contact area on the rotor was worn and had a circle divot in it.
2. The main terminal connection between the igniter coil and wire was pretty dirty.
I had these symptoms once before I switched the distibutor cap, and all I did to fix it then was clean the cap terminals. Don't know why I didn't think to check under the cap.
Funny thing, jetjock, after you commented about blaming the car, I was gonna change the thread title to "Help! I'm being a douche about my Supra!", but I can't ,so oh well!:biglaugh:
Well thank you and everyone else for giving me ideas, I'll remember (most of) them!:runaway:
But then again if it's an electrical component failure then I guess you'll just have to replace the parts.
