So i just replaced my flywheel and tranny last weekend and I drove the car for 1 day and it was running fine. On the way home yesterday it started skipping/sputtering, and whenever it would sputter the tach would keep dropping to 0 (as if I was turning off the car). Then it died on the way home, and slowly i was able to get it to start every once in a while and in like 2 hours i got it home. Last night I was messing with my grounds, taped up some wires that looked like they might be a bit frayed (yet they have been like that for a while) and blew out my speed sensor (because it was acting up aswell).
The car was running fine after that and i drove it around for like 20 mins.
Now this morning its doing the same thing, I couldnt even get it off my street. And now it wont start at all. I have NO CEL's. I have fuel and the pump primes, etc. What can be causing this? I need to get the car running tomorrow.

 

I know this is a played out answer, but check all your grounds from battery to frame/engine/etc

 

I already have checked them like 3 times. Everything is working except for spark.

 

cmon i need this fixed

 

anyone

 

no spark its in the dizzy, check all the wires to the dizzy no that , then u might have to get a new coil... ez fix

 

i have an external coil. But I am pretty sure that my external coil isnt getting any power. Because when the car would jerk the tach would drop to 0 instantly when the motor was still spinning.

 

if u have no spark its in the dizzy or the coil u have how old and what condition is the cap n rotor button

 

i would check the ignitor, external coil, and ignition switch.
you said you checked all of the grounds so that would rule out the thermostat housing ground.

 

I fixed it, the ICM was bad. I put one in from my friends dizzy since his car isnt running now anyway. And im going to just order him a new one.

 

dude, order YOU the new one and give his used one back. lol.

 

x2 on that one

 

lol i might. idk if i want to take the dizzy off and disassmble it again. And his dizzy was like brand new on the inside, its a remanufactured one.

 

never hurts to have NEW parts tho
