Lebron No Start- No Spark!!!
This is a thread in the middle of a 0 oil pressure conversion…
This is a 1979 Chrysler Lebaron (Diplomat) 318/904 MP electronic Converted from electronic, spark control, and was a running and driving vehicle.
Long story short-
I lost oil pressure on maiden voyage after sitting years, changed the oil pump got it back together and it on restart it ran for a brief moment (got oil pressure!) and it shut off like I turned off the key! Then tried to restart it ran for a second died shut off and burned a fuse able link…
So now no spark.
I pulled the complete under hood harness today and separated every wire, tested and repaired every wire including the fuse-able link and and all connections, reinstalled, tested for voltage at every point, still no spark-Kind of…
When you turn the key back to lock- using a sparkplug directly to the coil, it will spark one time every time you turn the switch back to lock. WTFudge!!!!
So this should NOT be distributor related but could be ignition switch related right???
The ignition switch and distributor are about the only two things I haven’t replaced or tested.
You guys walked me through the wiring nightmare with the seatbelt inter-lock on my 74 dart sport! You guys should have some amazing ideas as always!
Wires look a mess but they will be re-loomed/taped and ram properly after I get this figured out!
Any ideas are much appreciated!!!
