Now...my car was leaking oil due to lowering springs and continous bottoming out...So...the alternator as well as numerous other parts were pretty well covered...(It was a bad leak, and I continued to drive it, because well...it was the 1.8 and Ihad a DE laying around
![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
So, after the charge light, my lights started to get dim, and I quickly pulled over...(We were on our way for a long overdue date...and oh god did i hear it...so help me lol) Alright, the car died, and wouldn't start, as I was still moving down the highway, with the car OFF, I tried popping the clutch to start it again, just to get a little bit further off the road. It did not start, So I figured, dead battery right?
Wrong. Once I came to a stop, it would crank over, but not start...So I had it towed home.
I didnt try to fix the car, I just removed the motor and put the DE in.
Now. The DE Motor was from an automatic 1995 Probe GT, I changed the water rail under the IM and also the flywheel (Obviously) Also I used the DE alternator as mine was convincingly friend. I also changed the sensor that comes from under the middle of the IM, from inside the block, "knock sensor" i believe. I had to cut/splice the connection FROM my 1.8 Motor because the DE plug was a bit different, but, two wires, two wires, I changed it.
After everything was back together, I tried starting the car, well...No Spark.
I then changed the distributor from my other MX-3 with a DE in it, and it starts fine (the OTHER car that is), and still no spark.
I then changed the crank position sensor to the K8, FROM the 1.8 Motor, so this motor, so match plugs. Still no spark.
Now...I then remembered hearing that a bad alternator would sometimes fry an ECU, so I also changed that. Still no spark.
I have recently checked all fuses and all are fine. Im lost.
Please help me...or ask questions for anything I did not cover.
Thank you all on MX3BB in advance!
