Answer
Gee Chris,
There are dozens of things that might cause that.
The cheapest and first thing to check is the ign fuse.
After that, check for loose connections in the wires.
Things get more expensive after that if you don't have some test equipment, and parts guessing gets real expensive.
If you have an ohm meter, I would suggest getting hold of a service manual, and following the troubleshooting chart.
You can read them in the refference section of the public library, and even make copies.
Check that fuse, though, and you might even check for power at the coil pack.
Good luck,
Van
