I believe it's a 92?? Has spark, fuel, and compression. Something in the distributor burned up so got another dizzy from pick and pull. Car ran fine for a while with the pick and pull dizzy then it just died soon after and won't start now. What to check for, or is common on these cars for them not to start. Should the dizzy be swapped again?

Haha my first car was a ford probe that year.

Don't know too much about em, but if you swapped the dizzy and that got it too work then that's where the problem area is.
But when you say you have spark then it would appear the dizzy is getting a signal and transferring it. Are you measuring spark from the coil or the the plug wire?

From the plug wire.

Stick or automatic? Tried popping the clutch and see if stays running?

If your getting spark to the boot then it seems like something else is the problem
