gmorrone1214 Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 (edited) Hopefully someone can give me some insight to the current issue I am having. Running L28et, MS2 V3, relay board, single High output coil, 280zx distributor. BLUF: All of a sudden getting no spark to the plugs. I also get spark from the coil to the distributor (grounded the cable to the engine block and there is a continuous spark, but I cannot get any spark to any of the plug wires) My guess is the distributor cap itself. Can you test the distributor cap for continuity? I am not getting any readings from the center post to any of the spark plug wires. The wires are reading fine. Do the distributor caps just go bad? Any guidance or help is appreciated! Edited July 23, 2019 by gmorrone1214 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunkhouse Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Yes one can test the cap for continuity with an ohm meter. Be sure to check the rotor for continuity too. I've read about some rotors having a resister buried in them that can go bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked the FSM and it just showed how to test the plugs not the cap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
