Hey guys I got a big problem with my NA 93 MR2. My brother left the engine compartment open and it rained. Day later I went for a small ride no problem, but now my car won’t start. I checked the spark no spark at all. Checked the resistant between the (+) and (-) on the coil and it reads .7 Ohms just like a new coil. I don’t know whats going on. Car has brand new plugs, wires, cap and rotor. Please help me on this issue. Thank you.

Have you taken the cap of to see if it's holding water if it is when the rotor spins and won't be able to create a spark I would check there and see if that's it

Does it turn over?

like he said, pull the dizzy cap off and check for water. This is typical of letting the distributor get wet. Its really the only thing to worry about with these engines and rain
