subynut Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 I just converted my 86 carbed wagon to SPFI out of a 88. BUT, I got no spark. Everything else seems to work, but no spark. I started a thread in the retrofitting forum, but it's kinda quiet over there. So, here's the link to that thread: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=35801 Any ideas?

[HTi]Johnson Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 I noticed you have an accel coil in there. Maybe it decided to die? and You probably checked the basics right? Like the coil being hooked up right? Maybe the wire from the coil to the disty? I give this simple answers because I hope the fix is simple...which ,in my case, is my problem, usually. [HTi]Johnson With SPFI...do you use an electronic disty...like the MPFI turbos, with the crank position sensor in it? BTW, what are you doing with that weber? Once you get your SPFI to work.

subynut Posted May 7, 2005 Author Share Posted May 7, 2005 The Accel was in there before and I also put it in my brother's 87 SPFI car and it was good. Yes, the ditsy is electronic like the MPFI. I checked the polarity of the coil and it's wired right. I also put the original coil back in with no change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subynut Posted May 8, 2005 Author Share Posted May 8, 2005 It runs! Turned out to be a grounding issue with the base of the ignitor. Ran a wire from there to a grounding point on the engine and whala! I have spark! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
