I'm guna keep it short :
Saturday I washed my dusty engine. Covered intake, alternator, n distributor. Monday I drove car early to work. Everything was fine. on my way home car started to sputter n died. I got fuel but no spark. This morning I tried a new igniter, car starter for a few seconds then died My rotor n cap are pretty new. I got new wires as well. I get power to igniter but no spark at plugs.... No engine codes either Can anyone suggest Wat I can do next? Thanks. |

i would doublecheck that wires that go into the dizzy and the dizzy itself, even new parts fail. Honest truth, not all parts are created equal. did you put the spark plugs on top of the valve cover and see if it sparked? I'm leaning something with the dizzy for now or its wires.

It was a burnt coil....... Its sounds like you got the coil wet. Always leave the engine running while you wash it and take it for a drive to dry it off before you park it. Dont use high pressure on electrical stuff, gaskets on the engine or the spark plug wires(especially in the valve cover). Also try to get as little water as possible on the distributor, it doesnt like to be washed. |

The coil is available seperately from the distributor. If you remove the cap and rotor you can pull the coil out.

ive just seen dizzy go cheap that why even bother trying to do that especially with core trade in. id rather not deal with any possible issues on the dizzy again.
