All I Want Is A Spark!

I might add to make sure the coil is grounded. It uses its body which has to be bolted down to creat a good ground. If anything make sure you have plenty of good grounds. I would go ahead and add some anyways, couldn't hurt and it just might be whats causing this.

If I remember right this is a conclusive test. With my working ignitors (coils, whatever) the dead one did not spark but the new ones did.
I thought I had the e-mail from Matt about this testing but I just looked at my website and it definitely is the pink wire that triggers it.

When I had this problem EVERYTHING checked ok. I was stumped. Nothing that I could tell was wrong. So after trying to fix it for a week I finally just said fug it and decided to move it into my garage. Well I somehow got it started and moved it. I let it sit in the garage running for about another minutes or so and when I got went to check it again the leading coil had come back. Still don't know what really caused my problem, I'm guessing it was a grounding issue. Just like that POFF my problem was gone...

I made a test light out of a couple LEDs and ran it between the ignitor source wire from the ECU direct to a ground, bypassing the leading coil. when I cranked the motor the LEDs never blinked at all. I think that my ECU is dead is there any way to check for sure?
