My Dads Vitara died on Sunday. We towed it home and found it had no spark. Tracing it back to the coil. The coil is getting 12 volts but no spark coming out. So I thought it was a dead coil. We changed it yesterday and still the same,12 volts to the coil but nothing coming out. Anyone have any ideas? It's a 1994 1.6 8v. It's a carb engine with a proper distributor. I'm at a loss as to what's the cause.

The coil is triggerd by the points or whatever is in the dizzy, if it's leccy which i expect it is either the sensor or (usually) the ign modual is faulty, the ign modual takes the signal from the dizzy sensor and changes it to a signal the ecu can read or it fires the coil on non ECU controled cars. here's a page with a how to check the dizzy sensor operation  |

It not the electrics. It's turned out to be a snapped camshaft. Belt is intact and turns but the cam has gone next to the first cam bearing. I have never seen that before.
