Car is a Z20 soarer with 1g-gte.
On Monday I was driving up a hill and suddenly the car started to loose power so I gave it a small amount of more throttle and the revs dropped and the car stopped just like the ignition was turned off.
On initial inspection I pulled the dizzy cap off and the bolt retaining the rotor button was stuck to one of the reluctor pickup magnets.
I replaced the the rotor button that was in as fair shape as mine and a new dizzy cap which was close to new...............nothing.
Checked the igniter/coil for spark and nothing. The coil resistances were all in spec but I just replaced the unit and still the car doesn't start nor does there look like the igniter/coil pack is doing anything.
I checked for 12v at the igniter and it appears to be receiving power.
The ECU is not throwing any codes.
The starter motor does sound like it is under less load than usual when starting. It occasionally sounds like the invex gear is not throwing but I have been told that the engine fan is turning while cranking.
Right now I have no idea what to do, I guess the issues sounds like it is upstream of the igniter between the ecu bit I have no idea how to test that.
Suggestions?
