just bought car on5/9/10, drove it home + noticed slight vibration at idle in gear. next day changed plugs oil + filter + tranny fluid + flushed engine + rad. + refilled w/50/50 mix. tried to start car + wouldn't fire at all. checked w/timing lite no spark at plugs. noticed connection at ign mod. was wet w/ anti freeze, cleaned it w/ brake parts cleaner + blew dry. hit key + it started but ran very rough while i topped off rad. after 10 min. gave throttle a little blip + it died immediatly. has not run yet. I have replaced ign mod w/new one, replaced coil, installed a used dist. w/ the new coil and still no spark. it has always had 12v to coil when ever i check. tried to pull up any stored codes + check eng light does not work. It does not come on w/ key in on mode, I took dash apart + put in a good bulb from another position + no lite. I checked circuit board at light socket + don't get any voltage there or at plug connecter from green w/ red stripe wire please help. I am willing to pay for solution. Thank you lithorock
