So I already checked the dizzy (but if worse comes to worse I can try a new one for free), and I had a spare set of wires and plugs I tested with. I checked the cap and rotor both of which are perfect.
I don't know of any way to check the igniter but I'm thinking it could possibly be that so I might go to the junkyard and pull one to test with. I've also heard the MAF, low oil pressure, TPS, and the knock sensor can keep it from sparking also. But I believe these would also cut fuel too? Which I'm getting plenty of...haha. Anything else I should check? I need to see if its throwing any codes but I didn't have any time today to check. |

On the first day when it wouldn't crank, before I loaded it up on the trailer I took the spark plug out with the wire tried sparking it (I always ground it on the support that comes off the block that the throttle cable rides on, its a great ground and in the perfect spot), no joy. Replaced the wire and plug with spares, same.
So we took off the cap, rotor, and shroud on the dizzy and measured the leads (at the coil) for voltage while cranking, nothing. Tried at the plug and same. So we put all that back together and took a look at the igniter, it has 12v going in, but nothing out. So I'm looking for a junk one to see if that's the issue. If not I'll look into the harness and the ecu (which I highly doubt its either, but it happens). |
