Hey all, got no spark at any plug wires, and also not getting any at the primary wire from the distributor cap to the coil. Its a 1989 with a 1.9. It just died while driving and now turns over but won't start. I am getting fuel out of the injector. Any ideas???
check your voltage to the camshaft sensor with a meter (dc volt).
Turn key on and hot wire should be from .8 to 2.2v.
Also, if you have a tach, turn engine over and watch for gauge to jump.
If jumping you know voltage and sensors are good.
Turns out it was the ignition module. Its mounted on the firewall side of the distributor. I thought the problem was that or the coil so I went and pulled some from a junk yard and replacing the module fired it right up. When putting in a new module you have to load it up with heat sink grease so I am thinking that after time the heat just ruins the module. Anyways, that did it. Thanks for your help all!
