Was the new distributor complete with a coil and Ignition module?

BEFORE replacing the computer - have a professional technician look at the vehicle, access the PCM for DTC's or at the least the basic troubleshooting for no spark should be performed.

Rare but can you put the dead wire to another cylinder that works and see if the problem follows that wire? Get codes just because you should.


Some spark testers could be put on the distributor end and see if grounding the end towards plug gets a spark. Not quite sure why it would pick on just one guessing you have checked that others work?
