Guest larkja Posted March 9, 2002 Share Posted March 9, 2002 I was driving down the freeway last week when all of a sudden I lost all spark to the motor (like a fuse blew). I got a tow home - bummer - and started investigating (all fuses okay). The starter works and turns the motor. The battery is a full 12 volts (I have a meter). Power to the starter, alternator, and MSD ignition box. From the MSD, there is a white wire leading to the distributor that shows 12 volts also. (I have a Purlux electronic ignition module). After that, nothing. There are two wires leading from the MSD - an orange and a black - going to the MSD coil. There is no power here. I looked at the wiring diagram that came with the MSD (recently installed 3 weeks ago by my mechanic). It shows a red lead from the ignition switch to the distributor. I phoned my mechanic and he told me to start with the ignition switch. So I have pulled it out and ordered - not here yet. Has anybody experienced this same problem? No spark to the coil, no spark to the plug wires, but the engine turns over. Help... Thanks Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
