Engine won’t start / no spark.

Post by LCP » Thu Oct 10, 2019 2:25 pm

The car started no problem and then just cut out after driving about 30feet, after which it will not start again.

So far:
Distributor has been replaced and tested.
Crank Sensor has been replaced and tested.
PCM has been replaced.

There is correct voltage going to distributor/ignition coil, but nothing coming out. There is also plenty of fuel getting through

Car is 94/95 2.5v6 gt

Has the factory fitted immobiliser been bypassed?

Sounds like the dizzy to me. Is the replacement dizzy new? How did you test it? If resistance in the coils is within spec then it points to the big transistor in the ignition module inside the coil having gone bad....

Immobiliser has been removed.
Replacement Dizzy is new, and all coil resistances are within spec.

Thanks. I would if I could find them. However the immobiliser appears to have been totally removed. (All I can find are the bolt holes that the cage attached to)

You should find 2 plugs with all black wires and 3 pairs should be linked
check the links are still intact
