History:
Car started to not start a week ago sparadically and I din't think much of it. (figure my battery was dieing due to a previous electrical short that i fixed) Then the problem got worse and worse. (wouldn't start for a long time) Finally the car died on me while driving it and wouldn't start even with a jump. So I take it to a shop and they conclude that my injectors are not firing and say that its electrical.

Today:
I take the fuel rail off and find that yes there is gas. Injectors are sent some elctricity while trying to start up. (my V/ohm/Amp reader jumps from 0V to about .015-.025V DC in firing sequence). I know that I am getting spark because I took out the 1st spark plug and checked. It was also dry hence no fuel in the chamber. I ruled out ice due to parking it in the garage in above 0C temp over night.

Here is the weird part the distributer is making a spark clicking sound and yes the spark plug (which ever one the distributer is on) sparks very fast when the key is on but not in the start position. So I think it is a bad distributer or coil or something that may be robbing Voltage from the injectors. What do you guys think?

ANY AND ALL HELP WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED!!!
Thank You

I think it's the coils that go out all the time on 5sfe's, but I'm not sure about 7afe's. Someone should answer this by later tonight. You have to wate a bit for some of the more knowledgable people to view your post sometimes.

It was the distributer. Got one from Nik and it worked great. THANX NIK!!!!
