Hello,



I am new to RX-7's and i have a question...



I bought a FD for 3500 dollars not runnning... Brought it home and went to check spark. No spark on the leading plugs.... I took out the coil and tested it with the ohm meter and nothing.



My question is, can that be why my car is not starting??

If it doesn't, he's gotten the best deal on a serviceable FD that I've heard of in a while.
