Distributor Motor or a different issue?
So I cant figure out why my car won't turn over, it's getting fuel, some suction (not as much as i feel it should) but no spark, I checked to see what was getting power and this is what i found: (Red means getting power, green means not)



The rotor is spinning, but there's no power going to it to distribute to the spark plugs...is the rotor the issue?

I just took the rotor off and this is what I found. It is pitted, jagged, and looks like it has a lot of wear and tear on the top where i circled, and the bottom where I circled there is a hairline crack. Could this be my problem?

is it a swap from auto to manual as well. If so there are a couple of engine bay wires by the driver wheel well that need to be spliced.

No, it's just a stock manual b14...but I just called up napa and I'll be picking up the cap and rotor in about an hour and a half or so. Hoping this is what's wrong. Anything else that might be preventing the spark?

make sure the crank position sensor is not broke or dirty.

my car has a b13 tranny in it, since i couldnt find a b14 one for the life of me...so the im pretty sure the cps isn't needed on mine, ive been told by many that it should be fine without it.
