damnit I just lost the paragraph I just typed..I<ll make it short. I need help fast!!!!
Car stalled with no warning. Engine turns over with no sign of life(just fuel smell). Its NOT fuel related, pump is working. There is NO SPARK, its an ignition problem. Car will still not start hours later, no hesitation at all, just turning in the butter! Map sensor, coolant temp sensors are ok. We tried a working ignitor, not better. New spark plugs, cap and rotor. All fuses are ok, as well as obvious systems likes EFI, relay is clicking, etc.. At this point we're thinking its either the coil or crank angle sensor. I'm trying to gather as much info as my car is stranded on Prince Edward Island and its fraking 40$ of bridge toll to get there (I live in NB), so my friend and I want to go there with a bunch of spare parts and hopefully start the ''beast'' again. I'm pretty sure a new distributor assembly will take care of it..but I need to think of everything that can possible stop sparks from happening! Thanks for all your help and experience!

This happened to me and it was the coil. Replaced with $45 MSD coil and no problems. You will need to mess with the coil wire by adding the oldsckool style male spark connection that you should get with the coil to your coil wire. Was pretty easy though. Just made another one the other day when I got my NGK Ultimate Race wires.

The "coil wire" is just a brass lead inside the cap..I can't picture it! -------------------- -Rémy 02 SiR, 08 250R |
