Question
Good afternoon. I have a 1991 infiniti G20. when i go to start the car its acting as if it wnts to turn over but won't start. I have chngd the spark plugs, distributor cap, rotor and have the coil chkd. What else would i need to chk or replace?

Answer
Dee,

If there is no spark you need to check the ignition feed to the coil.  If there is power there and no spark then the distributor is in need of replacement.  The distributor uses an optical shutter wheel.  As old as the car is the shaft seal has probably blown and allowed oil to wick up the shaft to the shutter wheel disrupting the signal for the coil to fire.  Get a replacement distributor.
