Hello,
OK, I'll admit it ... I need some help. Perhaps some serious help. As the thread title suggests, I have no spark coming from my ignition coil, as I pulled the main high tension cable off from the distributor cap to see if it would make a spark to ground on a frame bolt. Nothing. So obviously, no plug is getting any spark. Overall, here's what's been done on the car so far:
1) The ECU has been upgraded to a Jim Wolf unit for my make/model. (1985 Turbo 5-speed GL)
2) A/C unit has been completely removed.
3) Still has factory turbo but waste gate re-adjusted mechanically to 12 lbs boost. (Higher flow injectors installed --- 420. Matched to ECU)
4) Power transistor upgraded to PRW-2 and re-wired correctly. (2-wire swap)
5) Electric water pump. (Direct drive unit with PWM controller --- no conventional thermostat)
6) Electric fan (switched on/off via thermostatic switch in radiator)
7) Engine cooldown circuit installed (SS Delay-relay controlled for water pump and fan)
8) Euro cams
9) Ported heads
10) Titan alternator
11) 3-Bar fuel pressure regulator
Things I have checked so far:
1) I am getting +12V to the coil's primary (voltmeter on green/red wire)
2) Engine cranks just fine
3) Fuel pump works just fine (stock as of now --- to be upgraded)
4) Cooldown circuit works just fine as well (works as designed --- timing and shutdown)
A friend of mine (who's an electrical engineer, I'm a physics/math instructor) helped me with all electricals and mods. Basically, I'm at a a loss, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
