Arrow Possible ignition problem...

It has been quite a while since I have started my RX-7. Probably 9 months or so. I tried to start it the other night and made sure I was getting fuel, but I'm not so sure that it was getting spark.

So, I figured... Maybe the PFC commander can give me some information. I'm not a tuner and am not totally sure if I was getting the right information, but when I looked at the commander for the leading ignition graph and trailing ignition graph, while starting the car, the graph lines did not change at all. Could this possibly mean that I am not getting spark? Could it be the plugs? It was about 29-32 degrees outside too...

Ah, I figured it would be appropriate to post this here. Considering the main subject is about whether I have spark or not... I will post in there anyway though.

Okay... So, I checked all wires for spark. The only wire that sparked while cranking the engine was the rear trailing wire. None of the other ones sparked at all.
