cranks but no spark at coil

cranks but no spark at coil

I had time to do a quick coil +ve volt check before work. Everything all hooked up and 10.9 V cranking.

Thanks for explanation on reluctor/pickup. Ill clean up the leads and give em a squeeze. If that no work, ill try the "twirl" on AC and see what that shows.
I will chk the local parts store and price out a spare pickup.
Thanks again all!

Once you clean and crimp those contacts it will fire right up.:lol:
(Maybe) (should) from what I just read.
A new pickup coil can be gotten in most countries easily and cheaply.:D

No, You will have continuity all the time, the resistance changes as the reluctor induces a small amount of current in the pick-up coil, this will be the signal the ecu uses
to switch the transistor. It is not an on/off affair, but a rhythmic pulsing in resistance....... if You have no continuity the P/U coil or one of it's leads is broken.

No you want AC volts. Hook the meter to the two distributor leads on the lowest AC scale and "twirl" or crank the distributor. It should generate about 1V AC

I'm with TB....clean out the dist. connectors They are a problem Just "working" them in/out several times helps
