Well you're lucky it died completely and is not an intermittent run, won't run problem. If you have verified it is an ignition problem(no spark to the plugs). The pick-up coil is a very real possibility. I personally would check the ignition module first. Most parts stores should be able to check it. The pick-up coil would be next. You have to remove and disassemble the distributor to replace the pick-up coil. So I would eliminate the ignition module as a possibility first. It sounds like you have already replaced the coil or that would have been the 2nd thing to check. Good luck.

 

Buy a Haynes manual (PN 36058 w/light blue cover ~$15) & a cheap digital multimeter ($8-40), and perform the procedure in Ch.5 Sec.5 on p.5-5.
