Don,

Thanks for the quick response. I have not tried checking voltage while cranking, however, I have tried jumping it with my wife's car. She's got a new car. It was either get her a new car or get a new wife.

Anyhoo, I was reading around the Net some more and thought about the sequence of components that start the car. 1. ignition 2. battery 3. ignition coil 4. starter 5. distributor or something like that.

Since I'm not getting anything signal to the starter or distributor, could it be the ignition coil? I read that they rarely go bad, but I tested the resistance from the primary terminals which was too high and then the secondary terminals which should read between 6 and 9 ohms. Instead it read 0. Do you think that could be the problem? God, I hope so.

I've taken it off(it took two minutes vs two weeks for the starter) and a used one is only $20.
