Did you isolate the coils (remove at least one of the little terminals under the covers) and read them out with a meter?

Does the main relay work? Mounted to the side of the engine bay, near the trailing coils...

Are the CAS plugs secure?

Does the tach work when cranking?

Did you check for 12vdc at the black/yellow wires going to each coil?

Have you read out the CAS (about 150 ohms each coil)?

Have I confused you yet?

i have not check the littleterminals yet there is no main relay because i swaped the mottor in an 82 rx7 and the guy who help me with the wireing said i didnt need it. The tach dose move when i crank it. i check the coils by cranking it over and haveing the plugs out no the block and i also puled the wire off the coils and crank it over
