hi i have an eg8 i did a tune up on. i messed up the firing order and set it back to what its supposed to be, new dizzy rotor and cap and coil. Coil was fried. it tries to start now but every 3 cranks it stalls and strains. any thoughts?

 

Is there bright white spark at all four plugs? Any CEL codes?

Post pictures of the plug wire firing order on the cap. Cylinders are ordered 4-3-2-1 as you go from the distributor to the timing belt.

 

thats exactly how its set up

 

NO CEL, but i did fry the coil on the dizzy, replaced it. a puff of smoke came out...its a d15b7. there is a connector with two wires above the dizzy that when unpluged, the motor turns just fine without hesitation just no ignition

 

could the timing be off? is there a way to jump the timing without the car running?

 

Again, is there bright white spark at all four plugs?

 

not sure at this point...am i supposed to see a spark come out of the wire? or do i need to pull a plug and ground it out?

 

at the wires no spark

 

How are you testing for spark? If done incorrectly, you'll blow the coil. Click the Spark link in my signature.

 

had the coil and the igniter tested. both failed. got a new dizzy...runs great now starts on one turn
