Check your plugs, see if their wet. Might need new plugs. If not that check your battery, and check your starter or coil. If not any of them let me know and i'll give you more ideas lol.

check fuses, maybe the contacts in the distributer cap are corroded, make sure everything has a good ground, check all igniter and coil wire / clips.

what you want to do is pull your spark plugs out
now take 1 plug that you pulled out and plug it into the spark plug wires (OUT SIDE THE MOTOR, and wires attached to distr) touch the side of the spark plug (holding it by the wire) to the motor (any metal contact surface will do) by doing this you are grounding the spark plug...have someone crank your car for a second or two...look at the gap of the plug while they do this...if you can't see a spark..then you know thats your issue, if you see a spark well then its something else repeat this for all 4 cylinders |

Mine did too. Of course it might have been the MSD that did it!
Soundslut - did you at least replace the coil with a MSD blaster II? It's super easy and will save you tons of money at only $45. Better on gas supposedly too but I haven't noticed it. --------------------  |
