i need some help i have a 91 hatch and it quit on me the other night. I bought a new dissy for it but i still was not getting any spark. Does anyone kno what it could be that is the matter with it. PLEASE HELP!

 

have you actually seen that it isnt getting any spark or are just assuming that because it wont start? I had the same problem a few weeks ago and mine ended up being the main relay it was getting spark just no fuel.

 

yea i put a screw driver in the spark plug wire and got no spark. but i am getting fuel cuz i took off the fuel wire and turned it and fuel is pumping. so i dont know what it is

 

where is the main relay at?

 

tucked way up under your dash, on the drivers side.

 

is it a new dizzy or out of a junkyard???????

 

its not the main relay......what else could it be?

 

what else could it be. I mean i have a gsr full swap but i would like to get my d 15 started back up so i can drive it til im ready to do the swap. please help anyone.

 

anybody kno what it could be? any help

 

could it be a m.a.p. senser or a ign. switch

You said you don't have spark, but do have fuel.
It's not the main relay.

It's distributor related I think.
Maybe your ignitor went bad or the coild died or the rotor screw backed out and the rotr is slipping or..... all sorts of things to look into.

 

what about a ignition switch. it will turn over but no fire to the plugs

I would check the distributor components first. Start at the engine and work back from there.

 

i have replaced the distributor with a new one and new components. i have also tried a new computer and still no fire. starter turns over engine still and also still pumping fuel to the motor. timing belt fine. what else is there to do?

 

If starter turns over the engine, does it feel like it is going to start? Does is start and immediately!!! die? Do your gauge lights come on when the key is in the on position (right before the start position)? Do you hear a chiming noise when the key is in the ON position (once again, right before the start position)? If it doesn't chime, and your dash lights don't come on in the ON position, it's probably your Ignition Starter switch behind where your key goes in to start the car. If you have any of these symptoms I bet that's your problem. Seems like I have been saying this a lot lately. I just switched mine out a couple of weeks ago. $78 plus tax for the ignition starter switch from Checker Auto Parts. Takes 10-20 minutes to replace.

 

ok lets see....my car does turn over and then acts like it wants to start but then it dont. i thought it might have been my ignition switch but i was unsure about it. could that be the only thing that it could be?
