Default Help!!!!????

ok so as i posted a few days ago or a week something like that my car died on my i go to start it again and it trys to fire and it kinda does for like 1 second very rough fireing though try it again does the same thing after that nothing happens just turns over. i can hear the fuel pump turn on so i really dont think it has to do with that. i held the spark plug up to the block and no spark. just bought a new ignition coil gonna install that see if that works. if that doesnt is the opti-spark basicaly the last thing i can change out? any advice or help would be greatly taken im at a loss of what todo i miss having a car right now

no spark is not NORMALLY an Opti problem.

I would start with the coil wire and work back. Also, check the Ignition Control Module. It's an amplifier that fires the coil.

If you are going to change the coil, I would replace the module also. I don't know to much about opti-spark for I don't have that set up. I had a coil kill 2 modules till I knew it was a bad coil. When the module goes, no spark will go through the wires either. Again I not to familiar with opti-spark. Just trying to help. Good luck.
