The car was started and ran for about 10 seconds and then quit. It wont' restart not even a misfire. I checked the rotor and distributor cap and they appear fine. I pulled the dist. Cap coil wire, held it close to ground to check for a spark and got nothing. I checked the overhead info center on ACC and just get a dashed line at all info sections except air temp section. What is the action I should take to get the engine to start?

No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, coil's resistances, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it
