- Mon Apr 06, 2009 3:21 am #108550 i can't figure out why i have no spark in my car. she's got fuel, compession and is on time but she won't spark for some reason. i've checked about everything and even put in a new distributor and a ecu. nothing happens, she just cranks. checked out fuses and all got power except starter relay. it dosn't make sense because the starter engauges.

- Tue Apr 07, 2009 2:44 am #108753 Stick a screwdriver in a sparkplug wire, keep the screwdriver close to a screw on your valve cover but not touching. Have someone crank it and check if you see spark.
If there's no spark then proceed to replace the cap, rotor and coil if they are not already new. If that still does not fix the problem then it will be you distributor module. Its going to look like a small square tile with to male prungs sticking out of it with 2 wires wired up to it. Replace that and give it another try. The module going bad its not common but it happens.

Ooh you replaced the whole dizzy! Yeah its inside. I thought you meant you replaced the dizzy's rotor, cap and coil lol.

Then yeah man its gonna be electrical then.
That's gonna be a bitch to find the fucked up wire.
Or mayb not if you have a light tester. Just have some one crank the motor and check each dizzy harness wire coming from the chassis one by one. Good luck man.
