thats the diagram ive been following, ive checked it dozens of times and it wired correctly,

now for starters, when i dissconnect the coil wire front the dist and hold it up againts something metal it will only spark when the key is turned forward and turned back, not during crank, so there for the dist wont spark at all, so once i fix that problem i can diagnose further, so what do u think the no spark problem is?

your positive you have the wires hooked up to the coil right?

coil u mean the 12V blaster coil and yes, postive to positive and negative to negative

get thicker wire, its suggested 16 guage, although i got away with 18 guage

im running 12guage,

update....

got new coil hooked it up and still nothing, check over everything a dozen times all is hooked up correctly,

buddie loaned me a different disty returned it all to stock and still nothing, im thinkin its something else, got any ideas, thanks

I know this is a bit late in the game to ask this question but.. Did you try to pull codes before you started this whole thing?

i did i had cam sensor and crank sensor i believe, and one other unrelated

Did you replace the crank position sensor? Thats not part of the distributor you know... Check the shop manual for its location and how to test it

Tunes67

ok update,


tested the cranksensor, checked out ok, as per the shop manual,
terminal A and B has .560 ohms, spec is .520-.580ohms

checked distributer

between terminal A-B getting .56 ohms
spec is .49-.73 ohms

from termial A to the post looking thing inside disty,
getting 26k ohms, spec is 20-31K ohms

last test was 12 volts to termial A at the 3 pin connecter, im getting nothing it suggest checking the MAIN fuse which is fine then the igntion switch the wiring harness,

so what should i do now, thanks

Well you said it yourself.. everything is checking out ok.. so the next item on the list to check is the ignition switch right? Wouldnt be the first time one went south

Tunes67

yup that was my next step, ill try and do that tommorow and ill let u no, thanks for all your

well you say the cars not starting...have you checked fuels getting to it?

whats the easyest way to check for fuel, cus no since u mention it, i dont really smell fuel

update,

checked the ing switch, checked out ok,

re checked the red wire (terminal A at 3 plug on dist) has 12 volts during crank,


next is to check the wiring harness and ecu

anyideas?

oh and it has fuel
