Dead Camery

[jmonty]

My son had his Mom's car(95 Camery 4 cyl) 90 miles away from home when the car refused to run when the gas was pressed in reverse trying to leave a parking lot. He managed to get it to run by rev'ng it up to about 4k and it seemed to clean out and functioned fine. A block or so later it stalled but started again. Then about 10mi later it stalled while on the freeway. It now refuses to start.

The car seems to lack spark as I removed a plug wire and attached a plug and held it to the engine. I got no spark at all. I checked the coil and distributer all seems normal and static measurements say the coil is OK. My suspicion is the Ignitor. Any suggestions.

The igniter is a strong suspect.Has the check engine light come on?

I have no "check engine light" when I turn the key on. I checked the codes and there aren't any. I've got a dealer here trying to find the test specs on the Ignitor now. I've ordered shop manuals but they won't be here for a few days.
