K so i got my track car back running. it is a em1 with a b16 i did a wire tuck and a manual power steering box. so when put the motor back in and wire'd it all up it fired right up with now problems. so i took it for a drive and all of a sudden the car just turned off. So i have check the spark and didnt get any so i took of the dizzy cap ( couldnt get the rotor off so i broke it and now im running to get a new one) and i put test light to the two screws inside the dizzy and they both lit up. so i have power to the dizzy what else could it be? thank you guys in advance!

 

Any CEL codes? Does the fuel pump prime?

Start by checking the ground wire attached to the thermostat housing.

 

yeah i have a fuel pressure gauge and it primes to 45psi. the ground to the thermostat houseing some where else... does it matter, or does it have to be grounded there?

 

CEL codes?

Start by checking the coil and ICM inside the distributor.

 

k so i redone the grounds with no luch then i put a light tester on the ICM and i only get power out of the black/yellow and the yellow and green. i even put a ground directly to the thermostat ground. and nothing. i do not have any cel's. RonJ thank you so much for helping i will check the rest i am going to pick up a ohm meter right now

 

k so i borrowed my brothers gsr distributor and the bastard started right up with no problems. how do i go about checking if its the coil or the ignighter?
