The gas should be ok but I'll mention it to Matt tomorrow as i'm taking it in then.
Bad gas would be a blessing but i can't imagine that is it given the problems two shops have had in trying to come up with a fix. The electrics were working but no spark.

I'll re-post after Matt has at it.

thanks,
J.

If truly no spark, my guess is one or more of these:

coil
MSD
Bad green wire
Computer
bad ground
bad ignition switch

let us know.

The ground issue was addressed by the last shop. Matt said the coil was not putting out enough spark so a new one is needed. The issue is that this will be the third new coil in four months. Sooooo, something is causing these coils to go bad. More to follow when I hear back from Matt.
