1988 s10 wont start?

Ok..cap must have come loose when I cranked it and the rotor dug into it cracking the cap and damaging the rotor. Went and got a new cap and rotor and now it sounds like its old self cranking but wont start. Just changed the coil figuring I could have shorted it when the cap scraped the rotor and no luck. Now I am going to try the pickup for the ignition?? Its supposed to be mounted on top of the distributor..we will see..Any ideas?? Thanks:)

pickup and ignition module are both under dist cap - you can undo the module and take it to autozone for testing. not sure if they can test the pickup or not.

Thanks for the reply!! Where is the module? under the pickup assembly?? Thanks!:)

found the module and going to get it tested. By the rotor rubbing on the cap while trying to start it could of shorted out the module?

take one of the wires aloose from its spark plug, and plug a spare plug into it. touch that plug to the frame or engine of the car. You should see it spark.

A timing light is an excellent way to check if each plug is firing, one at a time.

u forgot to tell him to turn over the engine

The modules sometimes just go bad. Happened in my own truck a couple of months ago. Driving along, suddenly engine just shut off. No discernable reason for it, it just quit. New module, fired right up.

Still no start?? I have replaced the coil,plugs,ignition module,cap and rotor. Any ideas?? Thanks everyone for the help!! :)

only thing left is a Fuel Problem. First of All WHAT are you working on?

Car, truck, lawn mower, scooter? What are you trying to fix?
