[somick]

Did you check conditions of your wires and distributor cap?

How about fuses?

Could be ignition switch, coil, igniter, main relay, ecu, distributor. So many things to check. You need a meter to check voltages.

[ProMan]

Couple common possibilities

1. Igniter -- in the distributor, especially if this happened suddenly while driving.
2. High tension cord -- broken or shorted, check to see if it has spark at where it goes into the distributor.
3.

The 1990 has the coil inside the distributor. The only high voltage stuff goes to the spark plugs.
