  1. I have an 86 spfi. It started an intermittent dying and not starting. Thought it was the rotor screw because it was non existent. No. It was getting fuel btw. Cap and rotor new. Coil tested good. By mistake i moved something and got it to start. Figured out beating the disty would make an audible click somewhere on the other side of the bay, which let the car start. As the problem ensued it became more and more difficult to beat the thing into submission. As of today the car sits and im almost sure its the distributor. The crazy thing is the coil does not get any juice. There are two wires from ign amp to pos and neg on coil and two on a two wire connector goin to harness. There is a wire factory split off neg wire on coil going to harness that if manually grounded gives 12 to coil. Pos has damper on second wire. Cannot find a diagram of this. But there are these tests.
