No sparks Options

[914boy]

I figured I should make a new thread.

Converting back to fuel injection
1.7 djet


We try to start the car, it cranks but does not start.

Timing and TDC are checked and spot on,

the coil will not spark.

Just to confirm. The thick black/ purple is on the positive (+) side of the coil and the small black and condenser on the negative (-)

With the ignition on, I get 12 volts at the + / black/ purple wire
with the ignition on, I have ground on the negative side of the coil,
when I crank, the negative side of the coil switches from ground to 12 volts positive

I replaced points and condenser and coil,Same issue.

Like I said on your other thread, get rid of the black capacitor! That's not the problem here, but it's NOT stock and you DON'T need it. Just one more variable. Have you checked the integrity of the rotor, the cap, and the coil wire? Cap and rotor should be BOSCH only, no aftermarket crap. BTW, you say in this thread you've replaced the points and condenser, yet in the other thread you say you might have a Pertronix. Which is it? Might want to step back and get your story straight, then put this all in one thread. Hard to help someone who doesn't supply enough information, or gives us wrong information. If you DO have a Pertronix, odds are it's blown and will have to be replaced. That's why I don't use or sell them.
