sunovertone Posted August 11, 2014 Author Share Posted August 11, 2014 HURRAY! Change distributor and fired right up no prob! Runnin it all around the mountian, feels strong! Timming seems fine, did not use a timing light, just followed u tube advice, and she is good to go! Got the dizzy at auto zone, with life time warrenty! It did look like it had a bit of whare on the "gear teeth", I hope that isnt anything to be concerned about??? Thankyou for all the good info! Happy to be finding the path again! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbcnismo Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 I am new to the group. I see this is a few years old, but i am experiencing same issue. I have recently replaced my distributor. I have done the tests in repair manual for ignition system and if my results are correct the system is good and they lead me to the pcm. I ordered a used one with the immobilizer and key included. But it says to find the issue that fried the last pcm before installing the replacement. If my ignition system checks out, i have fuel pressure, it can inhale fresh air. Could it just be a bad pcm creating my no spark? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01Pathmaker Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 (edited) Welcome! It's not uncommon for aftermarket remanufactured distributors to fail fairly quickly. The most common issue that fries the ECM is a bad IAC motor, but from the info you provided, it doesn't sound like that's your issue. Easiest way to check for the IAC issue is to apply a little pressure to the gas pedal while cranking, if it starts, but dies as soon as you take your foot off the gas, the IAC is the likely culprit. P.S. - Excellent use of the search function, btw! Edited July 8, 2018 by 01Pathmaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
