I have a 95 del sol si. It started fine yesterday but wouldnt start this morning. I havent done anything to it since last night. I thought it would be the battery but i ran it to autozone and they said its fine. We tried jumping it and push starting it. It will crank but not turn over. NEED HELP!!

I am not getting spark

wolf95

screw it. its going to a shop

wolf95

ended up being a fried dizzy. Do these just crap out like this or could something else cause this?

they do fry out alot, atleast it has happened to me twice in about a year

ok heres the problem and i'm trying to contact any mechanics who could help me with my
problem.

My car randomly wouldnt start the other day. We checked the battery and it was
good.

We towed it to the shop and they said it was the distributor because it wasnt getting spark.

My friend replaced the distributor because I had him buy the $165 dizzy at autozone instead of the $350 one at the shop. It still wont start.

The mechanic at the shop said he smelt something burning and that the dizzy had burnt out, either by them doing something or the constant cranking.

the wires still arent getting spark. He is checking the wiring and fuses and so far everything is fine.

The dizzy cap and wires are brand new and the plugs are a lil black but still fairly new. It ran perfectly fine the day before. i'm SO lost to what it could be...

and they wanna charge me $75 bucks for NOT telling me what the problem is. any help would be appreciated.

Have you checked whether the timing belt snapped?

Are the coil and igniter unit new? Have you tested them? Does the dizzy get battery voltage with the key in ON(II)?

Any CEL codes?

Timing belt is perfect. the cap and wires are brand new. The dizzy will spin when u crank it. and it's not throwing any codes but a while back when i checked for it, it was showing a VSS sensor code but i believe that was cuz my vss is wired weird.

Have you tested the coil and igniter unit inside the distributor? Does the dizzy get battery voltage?

wolf95

That i'm not sure cuz i'm outta town. its a brand new dizzy from autozone

when i swapped out my dizzy, it didn't want to start, then I ground one of the spark. Car start right up. Check for ground?
also pull all your spark plugs and dry or clean them with a towel/rag.

wolf95

Well we tested to see if it had spark in the wires and it didnt.

wolf95

ok, we replaced everything from the distributor to the spark plugs and its still not firing and has an ignition CEL code. what else could make it not have spark?

Again, does the dizzy get battery voltage on the Blk/Yel wire?

ended up being a defective dizzy. exchanged it and she started right up. thanks for all the help!
