HI,

I recently purchased a 74 rx4 but it doesnt start. The previous owner said he did have problems with the coils frying. But it was running when he put it in storage. That was a year ago. Since then I repalced the coils and added a MSD 6a to it but it still wont start. I have a few wires loose and have no idea where it goes and since I cant find any wiring diagrams for the engine bay. I was wondering if any one has one or even a close picture of a rx4 13b engine bay. Also does anyone know what that black wire that comes out right under the distrubitor is. Any info that you can give is muchly appreciated.



thanks

do you still have the points distributor or the electronic one, they get different hookups

2 things come to my mind. Your ignition cylinder is fucked. The other, run new wires to trigger the MSD 6A (for leading) as well as the trailing coil.
