Purchased this disco a couple months ago. Drove it from Salt Lake City to so cal and it didn't miss a beat. I was parked and idling when the engine cut out. It didn't run rough or feel like it was misfiring. Just sort of died. I've got 34 psi at the fuel rail. Check. I've got a new ignition coil that sparks blue. Check. No spark at spark plugs when tested with spark test tool. Spark plugs and spark plug wires are new. I ordered an original used distributor,( pain in the *** to find by the way). Are there any other auxiliary ignition parts that I should check before replacing distributor? Or next steps if replaced distributor doesn't get it running again?

Thanks in advance.

 

Check the cap (make sure the little center button isn't stuck). Then check the rotor = they can crack & fail = no spark at the plugs. Push down on the shaft when removing the rotor!!

 

That did it! I had checked before but didn't notice cracked rotor. Pulled the cap off and the rotor fell out in pieces. Pressed on new rotor and she fired up first try. Thanks! My summer can finally start!

 

No problem at all
