so i just bought an na 88. the kid who had it before said it was running fine until one day it just died. he says it has no spark. i bought it for way cheap. i verified no spark, but heres the funny thing. the next day after i bought it i tried just ***** to start it and guess what... it started. i drove it all day that day. the next day it didnt start again. i tried new computer and new coils. nothing. i have another friend whos 88 did the same thing. any ideas?

I would start by checking to see if you are getting power to the leading coil when the ignition is on.

verify you have no spark then without turning the ignition off check for power at the coil.

Go try to start your car and while doing so, STARE at the tach needle. Does it make small movements when trying to start the engine? If it does, then there is spark.

To get spark you need the EGI fuses in the engine bay to be good and the ENGINE fuse in the interior to be good.

You also need the ignition key to feed the IG1 buss in the interior fuse box. If you put the key to ON and then try to turn the turn signals on or the wipers on, and they work, that proves the IG1 buss is getting power from the key. ENGINE fuse is on the IG1 buss is why you'd be interested in doing the above.
