Ignitor? could be the spark plug coils that are bad also.. or maybe the dizzy is just bad, try a new dizzy and see if the car starts? or the coils first, since they are cheaper..

Hm, coil in both of the dizzies coulda been bad. I would try a NEWnew coil in one of them first, and then if it still doesnt work, check any possible CEL codes there could be, and so on and so forth, move down the troubleshooting checklist...

did it still no luck i think that coil is bad i bought a dizzy off a member last nite but its a msd dizzy so there is no coil when i opened it so i guess cuz its made msd so does that mean i have to run the whole kit
