So we had it running(not well but it ran), then some retart sparked wires together "accidentally" now its dead. It cranks forever but we have no spark or fuel (no power to the coil in teh dizzy, or to the fuel pump). I searched and poeple say main relay, but i checked it, opened it up and its seems alrgiht i guess... All the fuses under the hood are good, and i am pretty sure that its not a blow fuse under the dash. So waht teh hell si up? we want this to run so we can get home!!!!

I would try a different ecu see if the ecu got shorted out or something. Does the main relay smell burnt? And try using a different relay from a friend's car. That would be the only way to rule out its not the main relay. Also check out the fuses under the dash. Cant be sure unless you check those fuses. By doing this you're eliminating what you've have check and pinpointing your problems.

check the ignition coil....

check them fuses. shorts normally blow fuses first. hopefully thats all u have on your hands

picked up a main relay... hopefully that is the prob!! by the way this is my car, icedout is a friend who helped with the swap at his dad's shop... any other ideas?

ICeDoUt

yea he's the dumbass that sparked some wires together

Vince you figure it out yet? Did you test the ICM?

ICeDoUt

wtf is the icm? and no, its not running. we tried a new main relay today, well my dad did, and it didn't help at all. And yes i am sure it has no fuel or spark

an icm is the ignition control module, aka the ignitor. in your dizzy. i had the same problem and i thought it was my main relay but it wasn't, it was actually a fuse under the steering column. if i remember correctly it's listed as "ACG" on the fuse cover. blowing that fuse will give the symptons you are describing. i just never checked it when i was checking the fuses cause i thought it was for something else. check it out just in case and keep us posted

I agree, I had a similar accident and it was the coil in the distributor.. had the same exact issues that you describe.

Hope you get it fix...I know I suffer on my car's down time...

You are the winner, we had another person double check our work and he found that fuse blown, so anyone wiht this problem its the ACG fuse!!!!
