I'm so farking confused it's not even funny.



Riddle me this: I have 6 LS1 coils running off my E11. The first three coils are fine. The rear three (T2, L3, T3) don't show spark when I crank, BUT if I unplug the lead running to them and plug them back in, they will spark each time I connect them.



It's NOT the wiring. I checked that by plugging the lead from L3 into the L1 coil. No spark upon connecting, which is how it should be. What the hell is going on?



I have 8 days left to get this car running for the Deals Gap meet, so any help is appreciated!

so the coils are all good?

 

I don't know. Have any idea how to test one? Damn it. I checked the wiring from the rears on the front coils but I didn't think to do the reverse and see if the wiring from the front coils would fire the rears... I'll do that when I get home.



If I'm lucky, it'll just be a matter of getting three more coils.



Of course, the fact that my new Aeromotive FPR isn't holding pressure after the pump stops running might be contributing to the car not running as well...

 

put one of the "bad" coils in the front and see if it works there.

 

ok, somehow, 4 of the trigger wires were getting 12 volts... I pulled the entire harness from the car and, of course, now they aren't showing power.



I'm going to go over the whole harness with a voltmeter tomorrow and see if I find anything amiss. Hopefully, it was something stupid and I can fix it readily.

i think, you may find stupid AND amiss!
