Ok, some background information. I have nos spark from the trailing coil. It is grounded I checked that. There is power going into the coil but not firing. The coil has also been tsted alone and is in good working condition. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks
|
well its pretty simple, the cas tells the ecu when to fire the coils. so if the leading works the cas -> ecu part works. the ecu could be bad, or the wires between the ecu and trailing coil, or the trailing coil
|
Thanks for the response. The leading coil is firing, the car will start like a lot of other one's i've seen with this problem. No tach like usual. so you think ECU?
|
possibly the ignitor? If you take apart the ignitor you'll see a small circuit board, it's possibly a wire has come loose or it has burnt up.
I also check all your connections. It might be something simple. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683561.gif |

Tach is triggered by the trailing ignitor - if the tach isn't working,
look to the ignitor. Disconnect the 4 pin connector on the trailing ignitor. Tap the red wire going to the coil pack with +12 volts - this should fire the front trail plug (and make the tach needle twitch). If it doesn't, the ignitor or the coil is bad - either way you can pick up another trail module (coils/ignitor/all of it) pretty cheap. |
Thanks guys. I have another 3-4 packs so I will give another a shot. I checked for continuity in the wires so I know they are good.
|
Oh Yeah, sorry for not saying this earlier. The tack jumps on start up then just stops.
|
That's actually a very useful piece of information. See if the trail
plugs are firing when the engine cranks. |
The tack jumps. But they are not firing even when it cranks.
