So here is the situation. Last Friday night I was driving home from work. Turning a corner out of a shopping center, the jeep just cut off. Could not restart. Checked the fuel. It was getting gas.
A similar thing happened (same spot actually) back in January. That was fixed with a new coil. So I suspected the coil went bad again (GM HEI from MSD).
So came back from a business trip and bought a new coil tonight. No luck. I have 12.22 v at the hot wire going into the coil. But using an inline spark tester, there is no spark coming out.
Any ideas? I don't want to just throw new parts at it. Thanks in advance.
By the way, it is the AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l with HEI (obviously).
