Car just died on me while driving. Havent been able to get it started ever since. Thought it was the fuel pump. I couldnt hear it. So I decided just to drop the tank. There is fuel. Next I thought it could be the cranksensor. I checked an injector with my test light. Light was pulsing while cranking. Does that cancel out the crank. Is the PCM getting signal from the crank therefore there is fuel. Now I bout me a spark tester. I verified there is no spark. Distrubutor Pack? How common are they to go bad?

Distributor doesn't usually go bad, but with the mileage and the age of the car, it is possible. It could be just the ignition module that went bad, but you still have to replace it as the distributor unit.
