Re: EG hatch won't start - fried ignition component(s)
Well thanks guy. I replaced the distributor cap, rotor, and the ignition coil. Then it turned on.
It must have just been the coil. When I did a resistance test of the old coil, the readings were totally off, meaning it was fried.
Another question though. I buy all my parts from Rockauto.com When I got the distributor cap, it came with 3 small gaskets/seals, I guess? They are circular, and I can't figure out where they go.
EDIT: just kidding, it's not 3 small gaskets, it's one big one that was folded up weird.

Would that be the O-ring seal around the perimeter of the distributor housing in this picture? I even see the two tight radius corners in the picture that you posted.
