I was driving down the road and it just died. I coasted into a parking lot where i took the battery out and had it tested and it was a bad battery. I replaced the battery and still no luck. I towed it home and about a block from my house i tried to pop the clutch and it started but when i gave it gas the RPMs didnt move and when iI let off the clutch it died. I then loosened the fuel line at the motor and i am still getting gas. So next i checked for spark at the spark plug and didnt see one so i replaced the igniter, distributer, and the relay fuses then i got spark but still not starting. Can anyone help?

Take the alternator in and have them check it under load. Pep Boys can do this and it's free. Also check EFI fuse.

take of your dist cap and see if it turns over with the engine, if not, timing belt, if it does, take of your front timing belt cover and check to see if it jumped time
