my cars distributor is now producing any spark, what should i do

Test the ignition coil, most likely suspect. Did it die while driving, or just did not start one day?

Check fusible link AM2 in the fuse box under the hood. If that is blown, you have a short in the ignition system somewhere. Things to check include the igniter, ignition coil, distributor, and fuel injectors. Yes, fuel injectors are fuel system and not ignition. However, a shorted injector will blow fuse AM2, and that will cause no spark. In my 93 ST, I had a noise filter capacitor on the distributor short out, causing the fuse to blow. Unfortunately, it required replacing the whole distributor, which wasn't cheap.

Rob yes my car was running when it quite on me. I just pulled into my driveway and put my car in neutral because I wanted to listen to the song on the radio. (it's a manual if that matters) then the engine stalled and would not start again.

Also I just ordered a new coil for my distributor hopefully that will solve the problem

I justed installed the new coil and it still didn't start. Would I be better off buying a whole new distributor
