no spark!!!

its been a year of owning a car and never driving it when i finally got it street legal i was driving it and had huge hesitation, like back fires and all, at like 4000rpm. after driving for a while on the freeway the engine cut out and would not start, i checked the spark and neither the leading or trailing plugs would.

this car is sucking my will to live
let the guessing game begin

pretty sure its the 3800 hesitation in the faqs section. Its when the secondary injectors are supposed to come online. Maybe there clogged or just bad. Also checking connections and grounds on a 15+ year old car is always great.

Try changing your spark plugs. They may be fouled out. Mine had a similar problem.

Distro may be bad, you have a leading coil and a trailing coil could be bad or just faulty connection.

unpluged the afm and it still didnt start, the plugs are brand new, but im pretty sure its because of some loser that rewired everything with butt connectors and electrical tape all over under the dash.
