i was converting my b16 from obd0 -> obd1 today, and the firsth thing i started with was to change the distrbutor, and after that did i plug the p28 ecu to the conversion harnes and the old wiring.i did not hook up the o2 sensor.
but when i tried to start it did it sound like it only was running on 3 cylinders, (un burned gas in the exhaust)
so i shut i down right away and checed the wiering to the dizzy, and installed a set of new plugs.
and now it is just dead! wont start at all. when i m checking for sparks is it just the on one of the plug wires, and a second one comes on somtimes...

what can the problem be?? how can i messure ifd its ok??

 

BUMP

 

check for spark, you might have fried the coil

 

Check the distributor wiring. Depending on the adapter used, the wiring is different, check your ecu adapter instructions..

 

can the coil be bad if get spark in one plug?? i thought the coil just created hig voltage and the dizzy did send the spark to the right plug.

 

could be the igniter

 

found out one problem. the coupling between the dizzy and the cam was broken. so thats why it did not rotate... so now im getting sparks. but the car wont start

 

should i get an MSD coil or just get an OEM?

 

could it be the coil that is broken if the dizzy dont deliver a good spark and if it fails to deliver spark at the right time?

 

u can get a msd cap and all that jazz...if it doesn't solve it then the somewhere there is a wire that is shitting on everything

 

well, i have matched the colours one distributor harnes right. so that should be ok. but when i messured the dizzy yesterday. was i not able to messure resistance between the terminal A and C. but between A and B was it fine..

can i just use an external MSD coil and bypass the internal?

but i do get spark on all the wires!!! aint that strange that it wont start. it smels fuel on the spark plug
