ive seen stranger things with cars he stated juice goes in and dont come out cap and rotor changed the only other thing is either cps in dist but that control injector command and the dist, unless the cps is fin up causing no injector pulse thus the ecm not allowing spark ???????????? or crank position sensor connector or wiring boogered up jm25cw

well after the distributor, i tested the cps again and its still getting the right risistance, and the right voltage. i decided to jump into my manhood and take the stupid thing off and its got lik a little electrode/magnet just barely sticking out of the plastic part. i called advanced auto and they said that it SHOULD NOT stick out at all. it looks on mine like it may be getting hit by the flywheel. i tightened up all my tranny mounts the other day because it had a small gap between the motor and bellhousing. im thinking thats my problem possibly?

manhood is still intact but the CPS isnt so lucky haha! does the CPS normally have that electrode looking thing sticking out of the end just a bit? mine does and it looks like the flywheel could be hitting it
