Razorback - i did try that and there was no spark.
I took the plastic cap off the coil and checked for power where the wires connect to. I thought my test light should be pulsating when i cranked the motor, but it just stayed on solid.
cap + rotor are new, and spark plug wires are new. I have not replaced the coil or either sensor.
Tomorrow im going to try out a few things. If it ends up being the sensors, is there a way i can just clean them or do I have to replace them completely?
thanks again to all!!!
