Can points cause no spark?
If no spark, remove the wire from the points and manually “spark” it to ground. If spark, then problem is bad points or condensor. If no spark, then the problem is coil or the wire to the points. Loss of spark is caused by anything that prevents coil voltage from jumping the electrode gap at the end of the spark plug.
Can a bad capacitor cause no spark?
If you suspect the condenser is going bad, you can sometimes tell by watching the engine run while it is in idle. The point cover needs to be removed and some engines won’t run without it, but if the condenser is going bad, you are likely to see a large yellow spark jump between the two contact points.
How to test the ignition coil in a Toyota Camry?
If even one spark plug wire is sparking (when you crank the engine), then you can conclude that the ignition coil is OK and not behind your 2.2L Toyota Camry not starting. So, to be a bit more specific, the test result we want to see is that there IS NO spark at any of the spark plug wires.

What does no spark on ignition coil mean?
CASE 3: No spark on some but not all cylinders. This tells you that the ignition coil is working and not defective. This test result also tells you that either the spark plug wires or the distributor cap is defective.
What happens when the igniter fails on a 1993 Toyota Camry?
When the igniter (ignition control module) on your 1992, 1993, 1994, or 1995 2.2L Toyota Camry fails, the engine is not gonna’ start due a lack of spark. In this tutorial, I’m gonna’ explain how to test the igniter (ignition control module) and the two crankshaft positions sensors inside the distributor.
