Is the rotor burnt through to the distributor shaft, or a bad cap

- Ignition wires, is the distributor turning, the distributor should be turning if you have spark at the coil because i don't think that vehicle has a crank sensor. I think it has only a hall-effect sensor in the distributor

- If it has no crank sensor and you have spark at the coil the pick-up coil(hall-effect switch) is fine.

I dont think you have a Hall Sensor but a magnetic reluctor. If you have spark @ the coil and not @ the plug leads I would look for a crack or a burn hole in the rotor. Make sure it hasn't ripped the lug off the inside and is in the correct position. The distributor must be turning as this were the ECU gets its timing information for spark & injection.You would have no spark at all if it was't turning. The issue appears that you don't seem to be able to distribute the High tension spark.Good Luck.
