I own a 1987 Turbo II and it just won't start anymore. Since the problem first appeared, it happened more and more often to a point that it's now permanent.



I know it's not flooded. I checked for spark on the trailing plug of the front rotor and it makes only one spark when the engine starts cranking and then nothing. So, I changed the coil and igniter sets, the spark plug wires and I also checked the crank angle sensor-----------still won't start!!!!!!



I'm beginning to suspect that it could be the ECU .

IS THAT POSSIBLE??

I keep for spares a 1986 GXL 2+2. Can I try the ECU from that car on the Turbo??

 

You've checked for spark have you checked for fuel?



Or after replacing the coil packs are you still not getting spark?

 

Fuel is OK and still only one spark after replacing the coils.

 

have you checked you spark plugs? i had this happen to my t2, and after changing everything except the plugs and the wiring harness (i checked it though) it turned out it was a fouled plug. on the leading side they both fire together, it like christmas lights either they both fire or you get nothing. in my case it was a fouled spark plug.
