No spark and i can only get 5V at the coil.

Here's the deal though, man....

You already said you put 12v directly to the coil and it wouldn't run. If that's the case, then it's ok to be obsessing about the voltage drops and such if you wish, but in my experience these cars will lose voltage through the wiring. My Valiant does it...my Dart does it.

The stock coil will work at about 6V. It SHOULD have whatever full voltage is available when starting but I'm confident at 8-10V the ignition system will function.

Here's my suggestions to hopefully move this forward and get a resolution, and I don't mean this rudely:

1. Stop obsessing about the EGR timer, speed sensor etc. That stuff is just there. It has zilch to do with your problem.

2. Please perform the test that people are recommending. Hook the battery up, get a helper to turn the key while you pull off a plug wire and hold it next to the block where there's a good ground. It's either going to spark/zap you or you get nothing.

In relation to that, it's not as scientific as you are making it out to be. It's either A. you get something, B. you get nothing. You don;t have to do the "how wide should a spark be, what color, what duration, what angle etc.". Just.check.for.a.spark.holding.the.end.of.the.plug.or.wire.with.a.screwdriver.stuck.into.it.next.to.the.block.

I said through the distributor and cap as well. The coil test is fine too but AT THE SPARKPLUG.

The reason for this is it would be mighty embarrassing to go through all this to find out yes you DO have spark at the plugs and it was a fuel problem all this time.

3. Any test you do requires the key to be turned to START inside the car by hand. The jumping the relay just spins the engine and if I said to do that earlier then I should have known better.

4. Have you had the distributor cap off to see if the rotor is broken? If it spins when the engine spins? It is IMPORTANT THAT YOU UNDERSTAND WHY YOU MUST VERIFY THESE THINGS before you OCD about wiring.

Please post back your results of THESE tests. Meaning the answer to yes or no you have spark at the plug. Yes or not the rotor button is ok and not scorched to death. Yes or no the rotor button turns when the engine spins.
