You can check for a spark on your own, just leave the door open, and reach through to turn the key.
Let me know how u get on
I checked today and there was no spark.
I was reading something in the haynes manual about checking ignition faults and it says if no spark at the plugs you can take the HT lead from the distributor to the coil, hold it to the block, turn the engine and check for a spark coming from the coil.
Would this work to find out if it's distributor or coil?
