    Either no power going into it or a dead coil.
    Is the coil getting power?
    Do you have an ohm meter?
    Primary winding resistance 0.76 - 0.84 ohm
    Secondary winding resistance 4860 - 5940ohm

    Also could be faulty ignition module or the hall effect part of the distributor - both fairly common problem items - do a search on this forum and you'll find plenty of references.
    Good Luck.

    if its a VR V6 manual or VR V8 ecu and a VN V8 memcal should go even if it had a V6 memcal it would probably go
