BLKMGK Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 Great, car has been sitting awhile and fired up just fine previously. Put the rear back together, charged the battery, gassed it up, and it cranks with NO spark - ARGH! Not sure what's up yet. Accel distributor, Accel 300+ ignition, Accel coil. I've got an oil pressure switch in the mix too but I'm pretty sure that's just wired to the fuel pump. Distributor has nothing but the mag trigger in it. VERY frustrating, I'll be checking connections and chasing power leads tomorrow afternoon it looks like. Bleah! I hope it's something simple and not something toasted!

Guest Nic-Rebel450CA Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 it cranks with NO spark - ARGH! Just out of curiosity, how did you determine no spark? I am sure you probably checked quite well, but I am only asking because of my own previous stupid experience and hoping that I may use that experience to save SOMEONE some time. I thought I wasnt getting spark with my lil Honda and pulled a plug and grounded it and saw no spark, checked everything I could and found that it was a busted distributor rotor Couple hours of hunting, couple bux to fix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLKMGK Posted August 9, 2003 Author Share Posted August 9, 2003 Looks like it was a blown fuse! However I left the damned ignition turned on for like two days so I'm now recharging the silly battery to find out I determined no spark by pulling a plug wire, grounding it, and jumping the solenoid. Rotor etc. is all fine but when I started checking things I found no power - hence the fuse. Hopefully that's all it was - Ill check in an hour or two and see..

BLKMGK Posted August 11, 2003 Author Share Posted August 11, 2003 Nope - NOT a blown fuse Seems my Accel 300+ ignition box is TOAST! As luck would have it I had a Mustang 300+ sitting in the back seat of my Mustang gathering dust, same connectors on it but a different harness. After I'd blown my second fuse and noticed that the 300+ was pretty warm I swapped it over and it fired up INSTANTLY. Drat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
