replace the distributor with used one from the junk yard, clean it andinspect it first.   before removing from your vehicle disconnect battery.put replacement on with rotor point same direction as old one---after alltogether use timing light to set timing properly or it won't runight.  ------of course various other things could cause this, such as yourmodule, and lots of other related items.

The IGNITION SWITCH may Be BAD.. It is located at THE BOTTOM of your Steering Colum Near the BRAKE PEDAL. This is WHY I SAID to HOT WIRE the CAR.. Apply 12 Volts to the RED WIRE that Goes to the Distributor..

Does this Vehicle HAVE a TACH METER ??? If SO DONNOT hook Those Wires Back up to the Distributor ..
