The Infamous...NOT getting spark!
well like the title states i am not getting any spark what so ever.
quick rundown. I have a eg with a b20
I have already checked to see if im getting spark by pulling out a spark plug wire and putting a spark plug inside and held it 1/4 away from many different grounds and nothing.
1) I bought another dizzy and still nothing
2) bought new wires
3) new main relay
4) tried two of my friends ecus that are in good working condition
5) checked all fused under dash and under hood and all are good
6) checked all my grounds and they are all good
I also thought maybe both my dizzys were bad so i tried the new one on my friends car and his car stars right up??? Im lost ive tried everything in my knowledge and i cant figure out why i aint getting any spark.
Ive searched for days and couldnt find anything helpful.
Maybe someone can help me out.

oh you put the entire dizzy.
well if you held a spark plug away from a ground and it didnt spark then maybe your battery is dead. or one of your battery wires is lose or corroded

Re: The Infamous...NOT getting spark!
ok got a couple of questions, harness is in good condition, ? no clipped/ shorting wires, 2nd any type of alarm with a starter kill or any ingnition cut off switchs? and are you completely sure its spark?? try what MI4$DC5 saysl take a plug out of the head, keep it attached to the plug wire and have someone crank it over, see if there is a spark from the plug. if everything ealse is fine like you stated maybe a bad ignition switch? work from the motor backwards.

And about the ignition switch how will that cause me not to get a spark?

Re: The Infamous...NOT getting spark!
well i had another motor in there and it did the same thing, i had a b20 running in another car so i swapped it out and put it in my eg thinking it was the timing on my other motor but when i took a look at my other motor the timing was fine.
This happend over night and day about not getting spark.

Re: The Infamous...NOT getting spark!
hey sometimes the main relay goes on and off. it gets old and solder points wear out
id flip those with ur freinds and see if that fixes, im sure its a relay

Is your fuel pump priming when you turn the key? I had a similar problem with my car but was not getting spark or fuel. There was a ground from the harness that bolted to the tranny that broke and was causing my problems.
