hi all.

had my car for a valve adjustment and new spark and valve seals replaced. but the strangest thing was, after it was all done. my car wont start.

i went to the mech today, and he showed me.

the dizzy had no sparks coming out ONLY when the cover is on....

we pulled the cover off and it sparks fine!

we thought might be the covers or rotors fault. so all new parts were replaced, yet still same problem??

obviously my old dizzy wasn't at fault. so what could be the problem??

they is enough voltage going into my dizzy (11.2 something...more than enough)

please help asap thanks!!

 

no body has a clue??

could it be my immobilizer?

 

bump for help

 

year, make, engine?

 

if your dizzy isnt getting spark it can only be so many things just start goin through the dizzy plugs wires ignition coil just run it all down until the problem is fixed and it should go without saying check fuses

 

it is running spark only when the cap is OFF. when its back ON, no spark is being fired...

i replaced with new coils, rotors, leads, cap. same problem..


its a 97 EK with B18c

 

inner power coil connection to cap...

 

inner power coil? where is that located? are you talking about the piece of carbon that comes in contact with the coil?

 

UPDATE ~ still got the same problem. no spark out of the distributor cap once its placed back on.

anyways i got a wire diagram. highlighted in blue is where my spark is coming from. area in green is where the spark is meant to be distributed to, however im not getting anything there.

could my problems be in any of the areas highlighted in red?
