My car wont start. When i turn the key there is no spark going to the plugs, but when i turn the key off it gives one spark. I think its my starter switch but i am not sure. Any advice or suggestions is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

It will require some testing but it's probably going to end up being a bad distributor. Make sure the rotor is turning and the timing belt isn't broken.
