1992 Mazda Protege
Couple weeks back I got a full tank of gas (which i don't think has a thing to do with the issue) and drove about 15 miles and my car suddenly shut off as I approached a red light. May or may not have been pressing on the break. It want to start but doesn't seem to be getting spark. I replaced the fuel pump and filter cause it first sounded like it was not getting fuel. No go there. Replaced the Ignition coil. Nothing different there. Distributor looks newer all plugs seem fine.. Need to know if there is a way to check the distributor. all plugs are getting and electrical pulse also. Any ideas of what is going on?
 
Easy to test. Have a friend crank the car while you are biting down on thew end of a spark plug wire :) . Actually it is safer to put a screw driver in the boot and hold it near the motor and look to see a spark jump. Might be a problem with a fuse or a broken wire somewhere if it isn't getting spark.
 
No sparks at all.. tested it back past the distributor. I think it may be the ignition control module? igniter? Cant figure out why I am not getting spark.. Any other ideas?
