i was checking for spark and my friend started cranking the car while one of the plug wires were out
can this fry the igniter? or cause other damage?

 

that test is fine to do....wont fry anything

 

but i didnt have the screwdriver in there and have it grounded
it was just the plug wire hanging there....and he started cranking it.

 

did it spark??

all you need to do is touch it to metal, you dont need a screwdriver to do it....

honestly i doubt that could have done anything to the dizzy, but who knows, those things are funky as hell....

 

no spark...

 

make sure your dizzy is connected and be sure your ignitor is connected to your dizzy as well

 

i never took the dizzy off.

 

first, check make sure your battery is at the good state of charge. being 12v +.

if you have a external ignition coil, check for spark there. if there isnt spark there and no spark at the plugs, it would be your ignitor.

and make sure your ECU isnt burnt or bad.


Battery>>>

-Ignitor
-ECU
-Ignition coil

all 3 of these must work to make spark. good luck!
