Well Miles, so far it looks like you're right. We tested the rotor and it doesn't turn. ....sometime soon we'll pull the covers off the front and see what we see. Thanks for the great suggestion.

Hey Hti - that's the first thing my brother did is test the coil spark just like you said and that's why we bought the new coil, but it turns out the it is the timing belt. So..next we pull the engine a bit to if we can get the covers off and the belt changed. I called repair shops and they just want too much money to fix it, all labor I'm sure. The car is worth that. It's pretty rusty and I use it for my paper route at night only, but I LOVE the sunroof and the little gadgets it has inside the dash like the outside temp guage, trip counter, clock. It was quite the car in it's day. I bought it for $200 and have put about $1200 into it in the past year. Can't spend anymore unless I can do the work myself, with my brother's help.

Hey thanks alot. I will check this out tomorrow and let you know what I find.

Has anybody had this problem and found a solution. My car suddenly died. It wasn't hot, it was sorta rainy and I was going about 40mph when it stopped. It turns over real good, but it won't start. I've check the distributor cap, the plugs. The coil is getting a signal on the + & - side, but I'm not getting juice from the wire that goes to the distributor cap. People have told me it might be one of the many sensors that trigger the coil. Since the engine wasn't too hot (the temp gauge was middle lining), I don't think it's the crankshaft sensor. What other sensors are there?
