I thought I knew a little about how cars ran but this
one seems to stomp on me constantly.

Here is what I have done and the symtoms I have run
into for my conclusions. First I was getting no fuel to
the fuel rail so after checking the fuse I figured the
pump had gone bad so I replaced it.
Still no fuel to the fuel rail so I check voltage at
the pump and nothing so I replaced the wire from the
fuse block to the pump now I get fuel then when I try
to start it nothing but cranking. so I check for spark
at the plugs nothing so now I move to check the coil
again nothing a few minutes later I have the coil out
and check for voltage at the wires that feed the coil.
+12V on one and +7 on the other so since I had voltage
there I figured those reading were ok I replace the
coil.
Still no spark after talking to someone that said my
Crank angle sensor could have gone bad I investigated
to find in the haynes manual for a 93 SE-R you have to
replace the whole distributor assembly with that done
still no spark. and no run :( I am at my wits end with
this and out some real pretty pennies please somebody
help me save this little black SE-R from the crusher
cause if it costs me much more that is where it will go.
