No spark out of Leading coil....

Well, I meant to check my coils yesterday, but finnally did it today when I have noticed that there is no spark coming out of the leading coil through the plug wire( i have plug wire up against metal, about 1/4 from touching metal) THe trailing coil through the plug up against the same metal, sparks great.


Is my Leading coil bad, or coil plug wire bad?

well, I put another coil wire on it from another car and I have spark coming out of the coil wire from the coil. Still wont start, but Im thinking the cap and rotor need replaced...one at a time, if that does not start it, I will go back to old cap and rotor so I dont continue to shot gun every problem it could be.....

Thanks Hades for the comment

I went ahead and checked to see if all plugs were getting spark and all plugs are. Wouldnt that mean that my cap is ok?
