van was running fine..first time it stalled I checked and had spark but was getting no fuel...I replaced fuel filter and all was fine till next day....I started up okay but stalled after a few minutes....checked and I was getting fuel but no spark....changed plugs, wires, dist. cap and coil....still no spark....I am getting power so it is not battery related ...any ideas before I attempt to change distributor...all fuses are okay and I checked wiring and connections all okay....could it be related to fuel filter and how??? I use this motorhome as my residence and is my only transportation...if anyone can figger this out I would really be thankful.....diane

    you may have a bad ign module inside dist.they will at times give you int spark.
