Need ideas? car wont start leaving work?

[Biff]

I checked for spark and none.
Ditributor module? Little black thing by ignition coil with two wires?
Any one have the resistance of a good coil?
What do you think is the most likely
Thanks in advance for any ones help.

Any one have the resistance of a good coil?

0.8 to 1.6 ohms.

Assuming you are cranking and not firing, correct? Have you checked for spark at the coil, at the input to the cap? Out of the cap? Not sure from your description where you've checked, and where you haven't. Have you pulled the cap and checked for moisture underneath?

I think we will need more input as what you have checked before we can really help.

Check the center fusible link.
If that one is gone then it will crank, but never start.
Replace them all with cartridge fuses from left to right 30-40-30 Amp (pink - green- pink).

nothing at all happens if middle link is gone.... 3 times it has happened.....nothing at all....no click, no dash lights no nothing.

Don't know why but mine would crank but no start.
Thinking it was the fuel pump, I replaced it, and still no start.
Looked closer and fusible link was broke, replace and never had problem again.
What year was your Genevadirt?

Corrosion! , The terminal s on the fusible link block marked "EGF" or is it "EGI" ?

Any way, pulled the wire on and off a few times to scrub it for connection., away it ran...

Cool , Thanks all for the ideas and such...
