YES, GETTING SPARK. NEW IGNITION WAS TROUBLE. SEARCHED YOUR SITE AND LOOKED AT FOLLOW-UP ANSWERS FOR THIS PROBLEM. FOUND EXPLANATION ON INSTALLING NEW IGNITION AND ALSO ON RESETTING CHIP FOR IGNITION. FOLLOWED THESE DIRECTIONS AND NOW IT STARTS. TOOK ALMOST 20 PAGES OF ANSWERS TO OTHERS WITH SAME PROBLEM. IT WAS RESETTING AUTO THEFT CHIP IN IGNITION. ONCE YOU TURNED KEY AND LET BLINKING DASH BOARD LIGHTS STOP 10 TO 30 MINUTES. THEN TURNED OFF KEY AND FINALLY TRIED TO START IT. THIS DID THE TRICK AND CORRECTED AND IT DID START. THANKS.
