Tested for spark w screw driver and tested on the head . No spark . My buddy, and many other ppl thought it was the fuel pump. I changed the fuel pump, but had to crimp the stock positive and negative wires, to the aftermarket red and black wires that connect to the pump itself. That was the only modification to that. What would it be. Won't start !!!

If you know your battery is good then you can rule out some factors. Maybe your battery wires are old? Today my car had the same problem. It showed all the symptoms of a dead battery, but I replaced the alternator and the battery so I knew it was the connections.

I actually took my alternator out and got it tested. Autozone said i was fine. Although its hard to trust the discresion and knowledge of this female employee, she tested it twice and it showed fine on the computer screen. I bought my battery from wal-mart, so they guarentee their batteries for a couple of years. They tested it, charged it up and said it was fine. so now whenever i diagnose my car, i just unplug the neg cable so the battery isnt drained. so its not the battery either. the wires could be old. They are from 94 haha. So if its not coil, alternator, battery, it could be connection. Ok got it.
I actually talked to a guy today that knew a lil more about 6gc's than your average joe, and i explaied to him when ever i did get the car started, (from sitting so long, like 6 months,was working when first sat though) the idle jumped because it needed to warmp up. He thought it was the cencors for the idle, and i told him the idle was fine when the car was working. It just need to warm up from sitting. So than he said its electrical, because I'am not getting a spark, even with a new coil. I said a buddy of mine thought it was the whole distributor, and he was like no it has to do with electrical. So maybe it could be connections. I should prob buy a multi meter
