Check your timing?

Not positive, but on my Celicas atleast, if you didnt put the distro back in the same exact position your firing will be off.

Make sure you are getting spark. Take out a plug, ground the threads to the block, have a friend turn it over and see if it sparks. Do this for each wire, just use the same plug.

i already did, i even put the number 1 cylinder at tdc and put the piston at number 1 wire,i checked from spark coming from the coil but no spark from ther etheir, the following parts are brand new the distributor cap wires plugs and ignition coil. im gettign power to the ignitor so ther is no short, cna the ignitor be bad???

OK i will but why would not having fuel cause me to loose spark or is ther anything that can cause me to loose both i already replace the main relay to see if that was the problem but no luck i really need to get this running.

Read your reply wrong. Get a multi meter and measure the resistances and current.

Values should be in a haynes manual somewhere. if you dont got one, get one. Its your new bible.

same here it turns over fine maybe i installed me distributor wwrong but i dont think i did. this wouldnt cause not getting spark from the coil so idk. im gonna do some testing see wat i find thanks for the tsrm page that helps alot.

Check for voltage at the high tension wire. If the ignitor and coil appear to be functioning but you have no spark then the wire, cap, and rotor are suspect.

the ignito seems to be working properly but no spark from the coil but i dont think thats bad because its brand new im gonna try using another one see how that goes
