the coils i'm getting is a 20 dollar item at autozone. the timing belt should be fine, but i'll check it tomorow. i've been told that it could be that the computer might be able to see that the coil isn't working right and shut down fuel and spark. , tried the secondary wire. if any of that worked i would have electrocuted myself by now. but the ignition pickup in the dist, might cause a similar problem.
i'll check the timing belt and on friday change out the pickup and coil on friday, i just pray that i can do it with out replacing the computer.
if you guys have any ofther sugestions fire away.
