Had a problem with my coil and I replaced it a week ago. Now it has fried the coil. I replaced the distributor cap and rotor, also bought a new coil. Now it turns over but seems like it does not have a spark.

Good afternoon.

It sounds like the module has failed. That is inside the distributor itself.

Also, check the pickup coil in there as well. There are two wires that go from the module to the pickup coil. Use an ohmmeter and check the resistance. It should be 800-1200 ohms.
