the leading plugs are wired together, so if one is fouled, neither one will fire



mike

 

right.. leading plugs are together i have old & new plugs. So i've been rotating those around and cleaning them often due to the fact i'm getting gas into the combustion chamber.



I now know my trailing isn't firing either.. which is just another great thing to find out..



so if my ecu is sizzled.. am i going to have to break the damn bank AGAIN and go stand alone.. like say vosko's PFC he has for sale. or maybe haltech hehe.. argh more money to invest .. damn joo turbo ii!

 

if one trailing plug is fouled to the point that it wont fire, the other will not fire either. it breaks the circuit.

 

i used my new set and they didn't fire.. i'll check the rear rotors trailing plug tonight thanks for giving me things to check.. i just wish it'ld be somethign stupid simple so i can slap myself on the head and then start the car..

 

no its only the leading that does that, the trailing is independant



mike

 

yah, thats right. I meant leading.

 

alright i'll try again with 4 new plugs in it and see if she's happy.. unfortunatley i have to wait until after work and see if she becomes a happy car or not



thanks guys!

 

i'm an idiot.. it's my CAS.



I removed the CAS.. set a plug on the strut bar turned the key to ign spun it and i got spark...

place it back in.. no dice... no spark.. wth!?!? I'm lining up the yellow mark on the main pulley.. then i'm lining up the two lines on the CAS.. sliding it in.. making sure it doesn't turn through the peep hole.. no luck though no matter what it won't produce a spark once it's in...

 

how do you know its not sparking when your cranking it over? also, lining up the marks and sliding the CAS usually puts it about 18 degrees off. So make sure to adust it with the timing light when you get it started.

 

'IGN on' spin CAS manually grounded plug sparks.



place CAS Into motor and spin it manually grounded plug sparks.



turn the key and let the starter do the work.. no spark.



leave key in 'ign on'



remove CAS spin cass.. no spark..







i've regrounded the starter as a just in case.. but i'm lost..i could push start the car and it'll run.. but if my starter is disabling my ignition system i'm SOL unles i park on a hill
