my starter went out today and i just had got the new rack in after it went out this weekend. well heres my problem i replaced the starter now i do not have any spark i replaced the coil off my parts car and still same thing. any ideas??
omg i hate this car
- Thread starter dsm_tuner260
- Start date
i checked resistance on my old coil the primary was .5 ohms spec is .24 - .30 ohms so little high there, the secondary was 9.9 k ohms spec is 9.2- 12.4 so within spec there i have battery voltage going to the ignitior. so in theroy i should have spark coming out of the coil and i dont.
ok thanks for your help jetjock.
i dont know whats going on with the car its like its in a safe mode cause there is no fuel also. the cel doesnt turn on when i turn the key to the on position not sure if that its just the bulb or not i cant even check codes so im thinkin its just the bulb. i even tried the ecm i had laying around and it still made no difference. i am half tempted to just slap the other harness on and see what that does i am running an auto harness with a manual tranny but i have the pins jumped and its ran sevral months like that before. just trying to make this drivable til i get the 1j ready for it

I would just back track...check all your connections. If all you had was starter issue before what would cause you to lose spark and fuel after installing a new starter? Instead of swapping coils and changing the harness just back track and check every single connection in the area. Unless you had those symptoms prior to the installation. Hell, maybe it wasnt even your stater in the first place.
I suggest you determine if the bulb is good or not because if it's good you don't have a hope of getting spark...
i havent had these symptoms before the new starter. i had to push start it and it ran then after i got the new one in is when all this happened.
trying to figure that one out still have to figure out what wire shorted out. thinking its time to go throuh the harness and fix all of its bad spots.
Or maybe he didn't unhook his battery cables when he removed the starter and the positive cable touched a ground and blew the fuse...just a guess
lol it probbaly does hate me back.whitemike;1523576 said:
