84 gl wagon 4wd wont start, no spark
coolskaterkid replied to coolskaterkid's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I ended up grabbing a distributor from a junk yard and it fired right up, thanks for the help -
Ran great one day, parked overnight now it wont start. Not getting spark out of coil. Tested coil, is ok, so i put in a new ignition module, still nothing. One odd thing is after cranking i can turn the key almost to the off position and i get spark for a second, as the motor turns over on its own. It seems to me this would be the ignition switch, but is there any other tests i can do before going and buying parts

When mine went same deal as yours, i just went the the wrecking yard and got a whole motor and assembly, for around 15 bucks installed it pretty simply, and never had a problem again, i didnt look to much into fixing mine. Easier for me to just replace the whole track motor assembly

so getting the motor ready for its new home, pulled out of a good running 90 legacy.. i was changing valve cover gaskets, so i decided to tighten rocker arm caps, and one of the center bolts turned very easily and the head came right off. It felt like was already broken and i just twisted head off. What do i need to do to fix this. Its the center one on right side of pic.

I bought one from kragen orielys for about 100 bucks and they last around a year before springing a leak, so ive used the warranty a couple times, the latest one i got from them the atf, cooler connectors came out to far and i had to bend them to get the rad to sit in place, the metal connectors were hitting the frame rail, not really impressed.

Interesting you mention this. I got a new rebuilt autozone alt last year, and first drive it did the same thing, overcharged pusled the lights, and i got the battery and brake light while this happpend, it also burnt out quite a few of my dash lights, along with boiling my battery. So i exchanged it for another one, no more pulsing but when i turn the key on, i get the check engine light blinks with a relay clickling, all along i thought my ecu was going to crap, it has the hard cold starting also that you describe, will go get a subi alt from junkyard and see if my issues go away. Thanks
