I don't plan on buying things that are that expensive unless I know they're the problem. Already said I have someone with a dizzy they're going to let me try, as soon as they get it from a city 2 hours away.

Problem fixed

My roommate had an extra new y8 dizzy so I put all the parts in, had to put on a plug, runs great!

Now just to get some money and pay bills so I can finish the turbo...

I just put in a practically brand new dizzy with new cap, rotor, ignition coil.

Why would I need another?
