Mauitrailguy Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) Heres the situation... Started and drove backwards for about fifteen feet and the engine died. I checked what I could at the spot I got stranded and had no spark. So I have done the following with no results. Verified timing Replaced Coil Replaced Ignition Control Module Checked connections under the hood Checked all fuses and relays Verified battery Checked connections at the alternator It sparks from the coil intermittently, but there is no consistency to why. I need some help here. I am not good with electrical and have tried everything I know of, What you guys think.

ebayfish Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 How long has it been since you've replaced the coil(possible bad part)? Have you checked the wire from the coil to the center of the distributer cap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
projectpath Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 You did verify that the rotor turns i assume but from what your saying it could be the crank angle sensor in the distributor you may not have fuel either im pretty sure it controls fuel to but dont quote me on that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Sounds like the CAS in the distributor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mauitrailguy Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) I have spark from the ignition control module, but not the coil, the coil reads 12 volt when in the on position and 9 when cranking. the coil wont arc anywhere on the block in either position. The ignition control module sparks in both positions, im gonna try another coil. The one they sold me originally is more narrow at the base where the two screws go through so that might have been an issue. Im not sure it could be anything wrong with the distributor because spark isn't even getting to it, unless the distributor controls the coil somehow?

Kingman Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Yes the distributor controls spark and fuel injector pulse. The crank angle sensor is located under the rotor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
