Ok here it is, this My 1992 Mazda B2200 is cranking over but will not start. The coil has been replaced and still does not fire, my buddy held the end of the coil wire while i cranked it and he did not get a jolt which leds me to believe that there is no juice from my new coil, i tested that there is power to the coil and yes there is 11.37 volts going to it, i read that it may be a ignition module, but dont know where that is or if that is accurate, anyone got any suggestions?

The ignition pick up is in the distributor body itself.

If you have 12V to the coil, pull the wires off the negative lead to the coil. Get a jumper wire and hook it up to the coil negative terminal. With iginition ON, ground other end of jumper wire to chassis then remove it. See if you get spark from the coil high tension wire hooked up to a spark plug. Be careful not to get shocked! If you get spark, the distributor pick up is bad. Get a new distributor assembly.

Ok, that sounds good but i thought one wire was power controlled by turnning the key and the other is, or i thought it was a tac wire and i thought the coil was grounded by being bolted to metal. so you are saying that one of the two wires is ground? and that i should jump ground on that wire and check for spark?
cause i that is correct ill give it a try, i appreciate you help i need to wrap this up or the wife is going to kill me, Thanks
