I have a 94 excel which died on me about a month ago with no warning. The car will crank with lots of juice but has no spark. I am some what mechanically inclined but am completely stumped when it comes to electrical and ignition systems on vehicles.
So far I have replaced the distributor cap, rotor and the coil. None of these have fixed the problem. I think I might be looking in the wrong place. I have seen the post on similar problems but am in need of a little bit of help. I figured if I could get the car to spit out codes I might be able to narrow down the problem. I have not been able to get any codes using a light meter. I think I have located the place in the fuse box where to connect it, but I could be wrong. Do I need to have the key on when performing these tests? Does the ground for my light meter need to connected to one of the terminals in the fuse box or simply grounded to the car?
Any help with getting this car running would be a very much appreciated.
