Hey there, hopefully somebody can help. My 93 SE won't start. I turn the key and it rolls over fine but won't fire. It all started last week when it became hard to start then it was running rough. I replaced the plugs, wires and fuel filter. Just wondering if anyone had any other suggestions.

Distributor. Check for spark.

I was afraid I'd here that. I checked and there doesn't seem to be any spark. I know on some engines there is a seperate coil. Is there one on the K8 engine?

The coil and igniter (transistor amplifier) are built into the distributor.
