bobbyc Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 the car has been down for a while...ran before...i've been tryin to start it lately and it's givin me problems. it's not gettin any spark...i can crank and then right when it stops cranking there is one final spark, then crank and there is nothing and the minute you stop it sparks again. i have the SDS em4 6f in there and it ran fine before (7 months ago).

drzed Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Sounds like something is only getting power in the ON position of the key. Easiest way to check this is to put the key in the ON postion and cross the main power lead on the starter to the soleniod. If it runs something is not getting power in the START position of the key. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbyc Posted October 20, 2006 Author Share Posted October 20, 2006 the coil packs are getting power in the on position, and i just have the starter hard wired from the battery with a push button in line so i can turn it over while outside the car....so power to the packs never changes.

drzed Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 How is the voltage at the coil packs (and/or the computer) during cranking? I had an old GMC truck with poor battery leads whick would only fire after the starter disengaged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
