DatsunBoy77 Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 Alright after some testing and eplacing some items i cant seem to get any spark. It is odd because i had spark before, but then every once in a while, nothing. Then when it went out i figured that damn ignitot chip. Nothing still. Checked everything and figured out there is no pwer coming out to the ignitor chip, my switch went bad. Replaced that and i have 12 volts on both sides of the coil. No spark still. Changed the coil after the last time i had problems with spark so i have a accel coil with like 5 miles on it i am hoping isnt already bad. But no power out of coil. Could it be a grounding problem? I have driven this car 70 miles since january and pay a lot for insurance so i am going to take it off the road soon. I just want to have it running before i take it off and switch to megasquirt.

SleeperZ Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 It sounds like whatever circuit you have to drive the coil isn't doing it. What is your setup? You have power to the coil, obviously it's not getting switched to generate a spark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DatsunBoy77 Posted August 29, 2003 Author Share Posted August 29, 2003 the preivious owner set it u when his ignition lock cylinder broke. He set it up as push button. I have a new ignition key setup but now there is just a cut harness. i found a wire hanging that was always hanging and when i hook it up to power i can here something kick on in the engine bay. Once i get someone elsse here i will see what it is. Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DatsunBoy77 Posted August 30, 2003 Author Share Posted August 30, 2003 Should i be getting 12+ volts at bothe the positive and negative on the coil? It seems that the negative should be 0, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
