Non-starter?

This is a reply i got from a guy with a '93 v6 (irish car) for sale.
*** Non-runner ***
Was running perfectly up until a few weeks ago. I have now got a boring Saab as a family car, and the MX-3 lay idle for a few weeks; tried to start it but no luck. Have checked the engine for the usual things, it turns-over fine etc., and found a bad HT-lead. Could be as simple as replacing that, but I can't be sure.
I was just thinking, would broken lead not just cause it to misfire and not interfere with it starting?
any ideas? :?
btw this car is the other side of the country so i cant just pop over to have a look.
but on saying that if i had a definite idea it could be worth the trip.Thanks in advance. :lol:

you can pull out HT leads and it still runs, I'm sure I've had at least 2 out whilst running! Would make it a little harder to start (few extra cranks to get to a firing cylinder). Could be the distributor, pretty much what happened to me.
Ask him to put a wire between TEN and GND and an LED between FEN and +B and to tell you the flashes ;)
