no spark

Recommended Posts

By "No Spark" do You Mean at Each Sparkplug's Wire end? ... Because an internally Broken wire, in example: The Main Wire that Goes from the ignition Coil to the Distribuitor, can be the Cause.

Those Wires can be internally Damaged... did you Checked already if EACH Sparkplug wire is getting Power?

Kind Regards.

this might seem like a dumb idea, and probably already checked, but since it wasn't posted...

 

Did you check the t-belts? Make sure the disty is actually turning...

 

Other than that, i can't be much help...

Well then...,

 

Make sure you have power at coil - w/engine cranking.

If so,Test light will flash if disty is OK.

 

Make sure coil is grounded to engine.

Check coil wire w/ohmmeter.

I doubt there is a engine grounding problem.

 

Checking for ignition pulses at the coil needs to be done on the minus side of the coil connection. That is the side that ties to the disty. Placing a test light probe on that lead should show light pulses when the engine is cranked. Since you aren't getting any spark then most likely the light will just be on steady, meaning power is getting through the coil windings at least. Make sure fuse #5 is ok and if that is good then replacing the ignitor may be what is needed to get the fire going.

tried 3...

 

Holy Cow! ...

inside the Disty itself is a "Module" that Works as the Older "Points" System did but Electronically; sometimes it got Burnt out and Stop Working; So even if the Rest is Perfect, there will No Spark at All...

I Faced that Problem in some Toyota's 22R and once Swapped it Works Great Again... Maybe that is the Case with your Subie's ignition Problems.

I Hope this can Help.

Kind Regards.
