Thanks for all the input everyone, but I’m still going in circles on this one, completely vexed.I’ve got the cap removed, facing up with the rotor manually held in place, and when I crank the engine,I can see that I’ve got spark leaping from rotor to post, then onto my test plug, but when cap and rotor are installed, I’ve still got spark at the input to the cap, but nothing at the cap output. It stands to reason that the problem is somewhere between the cap and rotor, but I tested continuity and resistance in the 6 month old cap/rotor and everything checks out. The rotor spins when the engine’s cranked, so the timing belt is intact. WTF?!?!?!
