The engine will turn over but there is no spark from any of the plugs. i started it a couple of days ago and it sounded like it was running on one cylinder, it ran for a few seconds and died. now it just turns over.

 

check the ignitor in the dizzy had it happen to me and had the same problem

 

check your wires, dizzy.

 

check dizzy

 

the ignitor in te distributor might ave gone bad..or it could simply be a fuse in the fusebox in the engine bay..trust me i've been there..pulled up distributor n the whole works..

 

Ignition control sensor

 

how do you check the ignitor?

Easiest way is to swap it out with known good unit. I think I would lean more towards the coil however.

 

the coil is fine, i ran through all the checks and what not, it checks out, where can you get an ignitor? do autoparts stores sell them, or its it a dealer item, and is the one out of my d15 distributor the same? cuz i know that one worked

 

acutally, where are all the ground locations supposed to be, i keep wondering if i have them all hooked up and in the right places

You COULD get it at the dealer, just don't expect it to be cheap. Kragen has them, but same story.

 

ok so what about the ignitor in my d15 distrbutor?

 

oh yeah, and is the ignitor the same as the ignition control moduel?

 

had the same problem a about 2 months ago and it was in fact my ignitor a buddy from work gave me one he had and it started up sounded like **** for a little bit while it blew all the **** out the tail pipe from being flooded because i had other problems. but im guessing it is your ignitor

edit** oh yeah and check you're mine were gone pretty much after all the work

Should work fine. Go try it.

 

check the ignitor...for some reason my gsr blew 2 of them! and yes u can use the d15 ignitor...i believe they all work the same...i think all u have to do is change the braket!

 

i swapped in my d15 ignitor, nothin, THEN i swapped coils, and it RAN!!!!!! oh my god i'm so happy and relived i've been so stressed about this for the past week, i checked the coil exactly like the hanes manual said and it was fine, moral of todays story, the haynes manual is useless, but i dont care, my car started!!!!

 

Hahahaha nice manual. Im glad you got your car up and runnin!!!
