Either a wire connection from the ignitor has come loose or the coil has
gone bad. I've had both happen at different times. Motor just turns in
both instances. Luckly I just happened to have an extra coil in the trunk,
(don't ask why) or I would have been stuck on the Fl. Tpk. in the middle of
no where.
