I Have A 1998 Gmc Sonoma. Turns Over But No Spark.
I went to go drive home after a quick stop at Mcdonalds and the truck turns over but will not start. Checked for spark and nothing . I put a new distributor cap on . Still no spark . I'm thinking maybe it might be distributor rotor. Any ideas what else this might be please help.
