My wife's car just stopped working ('98 Honda Civic EX). I read through the other similar thread and tried everything mentioned. All fuses checked out ok. F/I's are getting their pulses and gas is getting on the spark plugs. Replaced cap and rotor. It appears there's just no spark. Is there a way I can test the coil? Is it right inside the distributor under the plastic shroud? Can I buy a coil by itself, because a whole new distrubtor is pretty expensive? What else could it be, or could I check for?

Any ideas? The car cranks just fine, it just all of a sudden lost spark the next time it tried to start up. I need to get it fixed soon - she has a trip that she's making tomorrow. If I don't get it fixed, I'm forced to go with her.

Thanks for any help you can offer.
