FJ80 Cranks But Wont Start

[fiemosport13]

Hey guys I need some help.

I've got a 1991 FJ80 that will turn over but wont start. It all started one day when I took it through a car wash and as soon as I drove in, it died. It was able to start again in about 5 minutes and I got it home with no problems. Come the next day I go to start it and it just turns over but never starts. After a little poking around I found that the coil pack looked like it melted. (Pictures Below) I replaced the Coil pack and Ignition wires and still no luck. There is no Spark at the plugs or as far as I can tell at the distributor. The distributor and Cap are both look fine. Any Ideas would be greatly appreciated.

There is an excellent no-start troubleshooting guide in the FAQ. I would recommend working your way through that first.

Looks like the coil wire was arcing from a bad connection.
Have a look at this document for a place to start.
