No spark, what next?


Recommended Posts

I have an 1988 gl wagon I have no spark, I checked the coil with a multimeter and when I cranking I'm only getting about 5 volts to the coil, the coil is only a couple months old, the fusible links have continuity, my timing belt is intact and spinning, my rotor screw is in and the rotor is spinning, the cap and rotor are clean as well. Where should I go next?

The wire coming off of the hot alternator stud, may have grown brittle and lost conductivity.  Same for the engine ground wire at that connection to the frame, in front of the battery.  Same goes for the wire from the bottom of the fusible link box at the connection to the battery hot terminal.
