My 85 rx7 13B quit on me on the road after 150k miles with seemingly no reason. I first noticed the tac go dead, then the engine. I've replaced the ignition coils and the plugs, wires, rotor, and cap, and still can't get any spark. Sometimes it will run, but only on 2 plugs. How do I know if it's the ignitors or pick up coils, or ignition coils??? Please help, this car otherwise is mint, and it's been a daily driver for years. How do I check the ignitors, and the pick up coils to see if they are good, and what else may be the problem????? PLEASE help.

its hard to test the individual parts, its best to test with known good parts. the ignitors are the most common failure part though. on a gsl-se the ecu is run off the trailing ignition (and the tach) so if that doesnt work it wont run
