86 5.0 No start, (NO SPARK) H-E-L-P-! April 12, 2006, 08:22:37 PM Well, I just installed a new thermostat and now the car wont start. In the process of removing the bottom bolt on the water neck, I loosened the distributor to swing it out of the way. After getting it all back together and it not starting, I checked the coil and I had no spark. I bought a new one and still no spark. Is there anything near the distributor (that I may have pulled loose or something) that would cause the coil not to give spark? I have power to the red wires at the coil connector.What is the wiring diagram of the coil connector?Thanks,Jeff. Quote Selected

I have tried to move it, but I would thing that I still would have spark from the coil?I read in the service manual (of course this was after the fact) That when rotating the dist. not to grab/move it by the wiring connector. That is what I did! I says that doing this would separate the connector inside causing a no start, or intermediate stall condition? It said that you could tell if this happened by a visual inspection, but I couldnt tell? Quote Selected
