himself Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 I got the car all wired up and ready to start. She turns over but though I have spark from the coil to the dizzy I have no spark from the dizzy to the plugs. I noticed that I did not wire up the green/black dizzy line with a 12v lead and 1k resistor to it (like the article on diyautotune.com says about 280zx dizzy's), it's only wired to the shielded wire on the MS. Can I use a 10k resistor I have lying around or go without the resistor and justa 12v lead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaTTSuN Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 my mistake was i wired the wrong resistor into my 12V switch power after i put the right one in it fired right up id do it like it says im not sure why but its there for a reason and it takes no time or money to install it..

himself Posted July 15, 2007 Author Share Posted July 15, 2007 Ok, so where'd you get the 1k 1/4 watt resistors? Radioshack doesn't carry them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naviathan Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 RadioShack does too have them. I bought an assortment pack of 100 resistors and there's 6 1k 1/4 watt resistors in the pack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
himself Posted July 16, 2007 Author Share Posted July 16, 2007 You were right, Radioshack did have them but the person on the phone doesn't know squat about their stock or what they carry. Thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
