I have literally checked everything on this car, had engine harness redone for 3sgte st205, ( originally 5sfe ) coil checks out good, but have power going to coil when key turned on, as well as negative side of coil has constant power, is this right???? Is something screwed up in the wiring? As well, checked an injector clip, and have constant power to black/ orange wire, but nothing on the other...when trying to crank, could my coil check out good from a multimeter, and still be shot or something? Have no spark coming from coil, to coil wire, really driving me nuts right now. I'm plugin, but I'm not playin.

Now that you said that Brenton, I did mount a wire behind the intake manifold, on a 10mm bolt the wire had an end that excepted that bolt, n screwed it tight to back of manifold. From the harness

From the harness Ok just tested coil with battery + - and had a very very small spark on coil wire ( discharge ) end, to screwdriver, is this spark supposed to be big n bold, or barely able to see it????? Cause that's what it was...really had to look for the spark???? |
