I changed the plugs, wires, charged the battery but nothing? It died on me after I drove around the block and idled it in 1st has not started since? A firend told me that I sholud probably change the ignitor because it has over 130k miles on it, any other suggestions?

Was your car running fine before you worked on it?

Actually the battery was weak and I had to get it jumped on a couple of occassions but I have since charged the battery and nothing. Is the ignitor just another term for the distributor?

I had the same problem on my Del Sol. It turns out the distributor bearing just seized up. This happens on high milage distributors. To check on your car, Take the distributor off the head and spin the rotor on the distributor that goes in the head. If it spins freely then it is not the problem, if it hesitates or does not spin at all, replace the entire distributor cause you cannot just replace the bearing. I got a used one from a junk yard. As long as the rotor spins it is okay to use. Basically, if the rotor does not spin, the spark plugs do not ignite.
