I just completed installing the Ignitor II and Flame Thrower coil. When I went to start the car, the engine cranks but does not start. I had already installed new plugs, wires, distributor cap and rotor. What should I do to troubleshoot the problem? Thanks.

At first I was thinking that you could not hurt the unit by hooking it up wrong.
However... If you hook the - (black) to Coil + (Ign) and + (Red) to Coil -. Then if you crank the engine, the module will be shorting IGN straight to GND without the ~3 Ohm coil in line. I would think the unit would be designed to handle that at least a few times, but (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I bet its something really simple after you changed so many things at once. Did the rotor fit all the way down onto the dist shaft so that the notch engages? That is why luskesq mentioned above that the disk with the magnets must be pressed down very firmly to get it over the dist shaft all the way. |
