My 1986 GLI Camry has decided it doesn't want to start anymore. The car was running fine until my mother decided to stall it with quite a jolt.

The RAC did some tests and said that there wasn't enough power getting to the distributor. The car got towed to a Main Dealer who also said the same thing saying that the distributor and coil had had it. I sourced a new coil and a replacement distributor and have had the timing redone but it still fails to start or produce a spark.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what could be causing the problem?

Thanks in advance.

Mike.
