Default GSR Swap - No spark, new distributor, cap has small crack, I hate myself

1993 EX GSR swap, everything's hooked up properly but the car won't spark. It did get ONE spark so I don't know if it's timing but that ONE spark was once and never again. Car kills batteries like a motherfucka when I'm trying to turn her over.

I have two grounds hooked up (Missing thermostat ground). There is a very small crack on one of the stubs of the Distributor.

Any advice?

The thermostat ground is the ECU ground i believe. get that and the cap fixed. does the fuel pump prime?

I just got a lead that might contribute to why my car isn't starting.

I'm missing the vaccuum sensor ont he intake manifold that goes to the brake booster and I heard it cosses a lot of clogging in the intake manifold.

The problem is I have an OBD2 intake manifold, where do I get that sensor? I don't have a lot of money to spend.

That's the missing sensor, the vaccum sensor to the brake booster that also routes the intake manifold.



That's where the crack is, I'm wondering if it being on the stub would give problems with the wire connecting to the dizzy.

cmon man this should be pretty simple.
1. hook up your thermostat ground, thats whats probably killing your battery

2. Not sure bout what sensor that is exactly but go to the dealer and find out what it is and get it, because you probably need it.

3. And while your at the dealer get a new cap and rotor, that should itself be self explanitory.

are you sure that vaccum goes to the brake booster? from what i remembers theres only one vaccum for that and its connected already. If your using a obd2 manifold on a obd1 car like you say...why would you need to hook up a obd2 sensor that the ECU doesnt look for anyway? the vaccum isnt your problem. its a gound, fuse, or something else. getting fuel??

1. Get a helms manual
2. new cap

that hose hooks up to a evap sileniod on a obd2 gsr. that would be the hook up for the purge sileniod on the 93 obd1.
