Since my shit Pontiac won't start I have been looking at my ranger that won't start and would like to see what ideas people can throw out. I put a msd ignition coil on it to no affect. The engine turns over with a jump start(I know the battery is shit) but still will not fire. I pulled a plug and put the cable on it and could not get a visible spark. I opened up the timing gears and could not see any visible problems. The car will not fire with starting fluid either. Ideas?
