so tomorrow I'm going to pick up this 86 hatchback for about $200, doesnt have spark, thinking the coil isnt getting power. I'm coming up short with ways to get it out of the guys parking spot so I hoping I can get it running to avoid paying a tow truck as its too far from home to tow it with a strap.

 

can anyone come up with a wiring diagram that I could look at, even possibly list of a bunch of things to check through? I've done almost everything else to these cars except mess witht the ignition systems other than replacing the disty, havent really had anything else go wrong as far as ignition is concerned.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Trevor

Don't even troubleshoot it if you don't have to. Run a jumper to the + side of the coil, and crank it over.
