Hi,

By chance, do you have a live data scan tool? If you do, check to see if there is an RPM signal when the engine is cranking. If you don't have a scanner, see if the tachometer moved a little when cranking.

Take a look through this link and let me know if it seems to mirror what you experience.

Also, the ignition coil may have failed. I believe the coil is integral to the distributor.

Let me know.

Joe
