Mazda 626 DX/LX
My beloved Mazda had been reluctant to start during the rain and on cold mornings, and now it just doesn't start.

I don't know much about cars so I had my uncle look at the car. He discovered there's no spark at the spark plugs, but there is a spark from this long stud under the distributor cap to the rotor when my uncle turned the key with the cap off.

For what it's worth, it has a 4 cylinder engine with about 190k miles, and the car has compression.


Thanks for anything you can offer to get her (and me) back on the road.
If you don't know quite what the problem is, could you point me in the right direction?

Thank you.
