Nags Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Hello, This afternoon I put the finishing touches on a 4 barrell carb setup for my 75 280Z. Looked down the carb and i have fuel. Goto start it and nothing just cranks over, pulled a couple plugs and they are not getting any spark. The dissy I have has 3 wires coming out of it... a red, green and brown. I have power coming from the coil to the distributor but none going out to the wires. I have no power to any of the 3 wires that hook up to the dissy. Before I started the swap I had spark without the ecu hooked up and wired the exact way it is. I am looking for a wiring diagram or if someone could tell me where power or ground needs to be on the 3 wires going into the dissy? Any help would be appriciated!

Nags Posted September 28, 2007 Author Share Posted September 28, 2007 No condenser would = no spark correct?? I have no idea where mine went but i noticed its not in the car anymore! If i cant find it is there something i could do to replace it? i understand its just a capacitor basically.... anyone know what value of cap i could use?

capt_furious Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Might be a bad ground in the ignition system, or the coil may be grounding out(which would collapse the field before it would get a chance to discharge). Go back through your ignition system and attempt to put it back exactly the way it was before the swap, assuming anything was changed. I had a '72 Fury that would occasionally quit and not run, then finally died altogether...a radio noise suppression capacitor fried and was grounding out the coil...Auxilary spotted it smoking. Yanked the wire off of the capacitor, vroom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nags Posted October 1, 2007 Author Share Posted October 1, 2007 From what I can tell I have everything hooked up correctly. The only thing I can find that isnt hooked up are 2 wires under the dash that hang by the transistor unit, I traced the wires from the distributor back to the transistor as well. How would I bet able to test the transistor under the dash? and What are the white and brown wires with ring terminals on them under the dash by the transistor unit for?

rich280zxt Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 I'm having this exact same problem, did you ever figure this out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK-Z Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 transistor= balast resistor could be the coil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
