Car turning over but not starting (ECL Video)

[Benj]

hold up how does not having sparking and the connections to the starter have anything to do with each other?

please elaborate on a few things

a) car is or is not turning over?

b) do you or do you not have spark?

c) when you have the cap off the distributor does the rotor turn?

a few things to check..

a) the 3 main grounds that teal already mentioned. even if the front 2 are good make sure the one that bolts to the tstat make sure it is good

b) if you dont have spark could be, icm (ignitor), change rotor and cap.. check all plug wires, change if the look like crap

c)it the rotor doesnt turn could be a few things, timing belt broke, ( if thats the case i hope this isnt the Z6 you picked up ) , or the shaft broke in the dizzy

well Let us know what happens... Best of luck

Sorry for the repeat posts, im having to do this on my mobile and its fiddly... The engine definetly turns over and the rotor turns too. Ive replaced 2 earths and checked the one on the tstat. Theres definetly no spark. Ive changed the coil and rotor from another dizzy (not new but best i had to troubleshoot with) and still nothing. It used to take a while to start before it died, yesterday with jumper cables it nearly fired up and then nothing again so i left it, im assuming something might have gradually worn?

[Benj]

its your ignition control module

[andyc]

[Benj]

its the ignitor unit on the left hand side

I did have another of those and tried changing it out, it wasnt new but surely they both cant be screwed? Thatd be way too unlucky??

[Benj]

so did you try changing it or you DID change it and still the same issue??

[andyc]

I did change it but the one i had to replace it with wasnt new and i hadnt seen it working before but its all i had... The original one is back in so im gonna charge the battery then earth a jumper cable and test for spark from the coil tonight and see what that gives me...

[andyc]

Someone must know what the ecl code means?? Its in a previous post...

[asianrob]

it looks like its throwing a code 10 which is IAT.

Cheers rob, any chance that could stop it sparking??

Cheers rob, any chance that could stop it sparking??

intake air temp code shouldn't cause no spark
