ignition issue

fc nut · 05-03-2013, 09:59 AM

when I switched to an fc coil,I put 2 different connectors on the power wires so it can only be hooked up one way. I'll check the wires on the inside of the dizzy. I changed it out the last time it happened and I put the original dizzy back in and haven't had any problems out of it. I've been through the wire diagram in the fsm numerous times thinking I may have missed something. I'm not the greatest on those diagrams,I know the blk/y stipe is the + comi g from the ecu to the main relay to the dizzy to the coil. the y/blu stripe is - (for the leading) from igniter to coil. could the dizzy's ground be bad,but the trailing is firing fine? I'm baffled.

i think i've found the issue. after going through the whole ignition system,i started checking to see if all the relays were working. the main relay coming from the ecu wasn't clicking when the key is turned on. i bought a new relay and i'm gonna cross my fingers.
