Had her running but when I connected
88 GTU N/A S4.... when I connected the timing light to check the timing she shut down and I cannot get her to start...checked all fuses, etc.... What could be causing this?

This should be on the main generation specific page(2nd Generation Specific (1986-1992) - RX7Club.com) not build threads, you wont get much exposure here.
Does it even have spark now?

Not very much, I need to get a voltage reading. What is the best way to check for spark? Thanks for suggesting the other listing category. I'm still learning this forum after over 15 years...lol

I will definitely do that. I looked at my plugs as they have only been in there for 3,000 miles and noticed that the trailing plugs were A LOT CLEANER than the the leading plugs as they had a more normal amount of residue (no oil) so I suspect that I'm not getting enough spark on the trailing which I will find out on your suggestion. I can't believe I forgot that test as it's been so long...lol. However, I did swap out the coil with a spare and that did not help. I also put this on that other section as you suggested, didn't know how to do that before, thanks.

By the way, when she's running there is a little backfire from time to time and loss of power which could likely be to improper firing of the coil?
