ok, my wife drove her blazer to work and when she went to leave it wouldn't start. she said that it was driving fine and starting fine all day.
The engine will turn over nice and strong and i also tried to jump it just in case. So it's not the battery. After i tried that, i tried to get it to fire with starting fluid and that didn't work. So because of that i figured that it's not a problem with fuel but spark.
So i went ahead and removed the distributor cap to check for water or corrosion. There was some corrosion so i went ahead and changed the cap, but still nothing.
So now i've moved on to testing the ignition coil. I bought a tester from autozone(the kind you stick in the plug wire and it sparks when starting), i stuck it in the ignition coil (the side where it plugs into the distributor) and tried to get it to show a spark. sadly it didn't. Next i tried to use my OHM tester. I stuck the negitive wire on the coil body and the positive on the post. i got a reading of 3 volts. with the ignition coil wire attached i did the same and got a reading to.
So with these readings does that mean i should get spark? according to the Chitlons manual i should get a reading of infinite resitance. So do I need a new iginiton coil.
If you can't tell im horrible confused. if anyone has any suggestions any help
