engine relay questions?? - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

couple of questions.. my 92 sammi turns over but has no spark. the coil has power, but the distributor doesn't. i traced the dist. wires back and one runs to the computer and one to the main engine relay, and one is a ground. the engine relay has power into it but none is returning to the dist. Questions: what would cause the power not to go to the dist.? how often do these relays go bad? all my grounds are hooked up, but if i added another one where should i put it?
Thanks
any info would be great.

did you try your computer had the same problem a couple of months ago turned out it that was the trouble. as for the relay had i know a guy up the road from got a 91 sammy for cheap thought the computer was gone but it was a relay gone. he said he swaped the two relay that are next to each other and turned it over and got spark on the wires so he got a nother relay it ran best kind.
