i hopped in after work an dit wouldn't start..letf me stranded for the first time in the last year and a half of owning it.

so i checked everything, hopped in, my starter froze up and then every relay in my car started clicking and trying to turn on....windshield wipers go twice....my battery had a dead cell. bought an optima, came back the next day and everything read fine..but then i got no spark, traced it back to the coil, was sparking fine.. towed it home, no more spark on the coil wire.

new coil, now im still getting nothing. my rotor and my cap are perfect..no cracks, no unusual burning on the electrodes on the rotor blade or the contacts..its wanting to turn on from time to time it'll idle at about 500 rpms for a second or 2 then shut off and not crank again.

i REALLY dont want to rush my blacktop in there when i've yet to replace a couple things..but i need my damn car, my taurus isn't back from the transmission shop
