i hav sum more symptoms it has a weak spark when u turn the key to the off to on position but once the stater is engaged the spark ends and if u unscrew the igniter from the coil braket and scrap it on the bracket u can make it spark. is it suppose to do that?

Check the codes from the ECU. Jumper terminals E1 and TE1 in the diagnostic port next to the fuse panel on the passenger side of the engine bay, then turn on the ignition & count the flashes of the Check Engine light.

also check the plug ontop of the igniter i had the same problem on my old 90model and replaced the igniter and the old one was fine but the plug on top of it had a loose wire and that caused the same problem nothing but pulling out the wire cleaning it off and reconnecting it and putting some RTV on top of all of them to keep em in place
