Eta quit starting. No spark

[Wishno87]

I was out driving it a few nights ago and it just died and wouldent start again. The last time i had this problem one of the flywheel reference sensors came unplugged. I checked them again and one had a low ohm reading and i replaced both with ones that were within spec. Still no start and coil has low voltage. I am going to swap out ecu tomorrow. Any more ideas? Thanks guys.

Changed out the ecu and still low voltage. Could the pin falling out of the flywheel cause this?

Have you tried a new main relay?

Alrighty so i changed the flywheel reference sensors and cranked it over and there was a pulse. Problem is even with a full battery i only get around 8.5 volts to the coil. It started once for about a min then died again just like the first time. Then i put the main relays from a running car in and it had around 10 volts and started for about a min and died again and had 8.5 volts again after it died. So for some reason the coil is getting low voltage.

So i bridged the positive side of the coil to the positive post inside the battery box in the engine bay and it seems to get power sometimes. A couple of times I tested the power to the coil and it had 12 or 13. But when I crank it over it would go to about 2 or sometimes it would start and stay at 12 for about 30 sec. Could my ignition switch be causing this?

Replaced ignition switch and still nothing. Running out of ideas guys :(

It seems to be it was a bad ignition coil? I thought when you test the voltage on the positive pin and ground it was testing the voltage TO the coil not the voltage from? Anyways it seems to be running just fine now.

lol i said to get ignition coil at junkyard lol ;)


we forgot AGAIN!!
