I'm going nuts. I have spark to my points. They open and close. But I have no spark to my plugs.
I have a 1.8 with a 009 dist. Any thoughts? It turns over but nothing. |

Check to see if you are getting 12v to the coil when the key is on. If that's OK then replace the condenser. A bad condenser can let the the points spark but the plugs won't.
Condensers are cheap and are included to allow the voltage to build to spark the plugs. Bad condenser, no voltage build, no plug spark. Ohm out the coil, it may be bad. I had one recently that measured close to OK, but no spark. New coil and all was good. Hope that helps. |
