zukiru Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 changed coil disty and ignition relay coil gets power 86 XT DL what am I missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Starting from the Very Basic to the Hardest: I Kindly Suggest you to Check First the Fusible Links, and if Everithing seems to be Allright, Check for Bad ECU. Good Luck! Kind Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zukiru Posted February 24, 2010 Author Share Posted February 24, 2010 checked all links and fuses. ecu light comes on with key so it is powering up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zukiru Posted February 24, 2010 Author Share Posted February 24, 2010 coil gets power but no spark at the coil either. I get volts at the coil but no spark... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Seems like the Coil itself is Dead... could you Try with another one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eulogious Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naru Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 yeah I checked that first,..and the rotor... turns out I have the kind without a screw. 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.

zukiru Posted February 24, 2010 Author Share Posted February 24, 2010 I actually also tried tuning the engine over by jumping the starter in the engine bay. this should negate the whole spark while cranking scenario. at least I think. I have not checked the ground to the engine.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 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.

MilesFox Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 the black wires are positive, the yellow wires are negative. make sure the coil is not reversed in its polarity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zukiru Posted March 4, 2010 Author Share Posted March 4, 2010 thanks fox but I have it wired right... I haven't at it in afew days.. I have something else to drive and this probably lead me to an EJ.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
