Jon, this problem is actually spread across a couple of threads... In the other thread the OP says that he sees fuel flow when he turns the key so the DME(FP) relay is working correctly - no need to jumper the relay at this point.

josh565: I assume that by "the cylinder by the windshield washer reservoir" you mean the ignition coil? When the key is turned to the correct position it supplies +12V to one of the two small terminals on either side of the coil (I don't remember which). The other small terminal is connected to the DME (the computer that controls the engine) and is momentarily pulled low to cause a spark. When not causing a spark the coil in internally wired such that you will see 12V on all three terminals. With all the wires connected to the coil, remove the center wire from the distributer, switch on the key (but don't crank the engine) and check that end of the wire is at +12V. If you don't see +12V there remove the wire entirely and check it for continuity. If it is bad buy a new one. If it is good then I am almost certain that there is reason that you shouldn't also be seeing +12 on the rotor. Check the continuity between the center terminal on the distributer cap and the rotor. If it's bad get a new cap. If everything is good then maybe just reseating everything will work. Report back with your results.
