SMH! electrical problem

my cherokees been out of order for 3 weeks now, i cant fix it!

i seem to be getting no spark, the wires going into the distributor has power flow but the wires leading out of the distrib. dont seem to have power. jeep revs but wont start. do i need a whole new distributor?

the distrib. spins fine. spark plugs seem to be okay the engines getting fuel. i replaced the ignition coil but still nothing...

i'd appreciate any help or suggestions

thanks

Should of asked, but I must of read it wrong at first.
You say you "seem" to be getting no spark.
Do you mean that youve checked for spark and it surely doesnt, or it just "feels" like you have no spark?

Autoparse screwed up the first message I sent you, you should have another with the correct info.
