| Post subject: | No ignition spark |
Hi, I get no spark whatsoever, I just installed the fourth brand new ignition coil in two days and there is no spark. Changed twice the ignition box and the cables but nothing, just don't get a spark. Oh, and forgot to mention that the ballast resistor is brand new too, actually I have changed it also four times in two days, just in case. What could be the problem? Thanks. Ed |

Hi, Try the distributer cap and rotor. |

Time to start at the beginning. If you have an AC current DVOM, check to see if you are getting at least 1 VAC out of the pick-up. You could have a weak magnet in the pick-up or improper gap between the pick-up and reluctor. If that's good, check continuity between the 2 wires coming from the distributor to the ECU. Colors will be the same (brown and grey as I recall). Check for voltage at the + side of the coil. Should be at least 9 VDC. Then check the output from the ECU to the - side of the coil. If everything looks good at that point, PANIC! Mike |

Mike  Well, I don't know much about mechanics or the electrical system of a car... so I am pretty much in panic right know with all the technical stuff... anyways, a glimmer of hope is showing because the two wires coming from the distributor to the ECU are peeled and touching each other; could this be the problem? Thanks, Ed |

Ummmm. Pretty good chance of that. It's a problem for sure, if not THE problem. |

That problem shut down every car I ever had it happen to (2 cars and hopefully done counting). Mike |

Well, that ended up being THE problem... thanks for pointing that out. My slant now runs pretty cool (so far). Cheers, Ed |
