Yesterday I drove the car and put about 50 miles on it. Today I go out there to start it and the engine turns over but wont start. Its getting fuel, but there is no spark. The only codes I have are the EGR, and some traction code I forget what it is. I am also getting voltage to the distributer. Its just very strange yesterday it started up fine, no problem, fired right up. Then today go out there to start and its just no firing. I dont know what to do?

 

IM sent

 

sent ya response via IM

 

How come I didnt recieve any bodys im? Todays a bad day.

 

wtf? I sent ya IM like 10 min ago too.

How far have you gone on the Helms troubleshooting? I'm thinking it's the ignitor, but too little information to narrow down the problem.

 

yeah I sent my IM like 10 min ago aswell.

anyway I needed to know how you check for fuel and spark. did you check the Tbelt?

 

Is it internal or external coil distributer? Check the coil and the Ignitor. If internal, the coil can be used from any D or B series obd1 distributer. The ignitor can be used from B series as well. Good luck.

 

Its 94 H22. Im using a P13 ecu. If we swap D series dist what should I do next. Will the TDC sensor have anything to with no start. Also the tach doesnt work when I try and crank it

 

your d series distributor wont bolt up but you can have somone hold it on while you crank.

if the tach dont work I would lean toward the ignitor being bad, thats inside the distributor.

Its an internal coil, stock dist. No I didnt check the coil, and for the ignitor, I couldnt find in the helms how to really check it.

Also if I swap dist from the d16 and it doesnt work where should I go from there.

Prolly why I missed it. Ill try all this tomorrow after class, see what I can come up with. Thanks everybody

 

The best way to know if the ignitor is working or not is to check for spark. If you need help on how to do that then let me know and I can walk you through the process..

And if it is indeed back I have a spare lying around the house somewhere..

Alright thanks ill let you know.

 

Coil was bad. I swapped it with the coil from my d16, and she fired right up. But I can not figure out why the coil just all of a sudden went bad?
