distributor

 

[MikeA]

the rotor and points look fine.

 

[ryukkid]

yeah but i'm talking about the inside of the distributor.this happen to to me i bought a use dizzy from craigslist (won't do that again)because the one I had on wasn't for my engine so i swap them and the cl didn't work then i swap out the coil and icm from the old one to the cl one and still didn't work turns out the cl one had bad internals so i swap the internals and it finally work .
cl-craigslist

 

[MikeA]

i'll try that next

 

[ryukkid]

to do that you would have to get a whole new distributor tho.the timing belt didn't skip any tooth's ?
that would cause it not to turn on as well

 

[MikeA]

not that i can tell. there is no spark at all. and the rpm gauge does not respond to the engine spinning

 

[ryukkid]

if you're not getting spark it's has to be something with the distributor..what do you mean no rpm respond ? if the car doesn't turn on the the rpm wont work.
here is a video on testing the dizzy

i agree with everybody else, its either a ignition issue or a fuel issue. my car was hesitating and had a nasty idle, so i did a tune up now it runs great

 

[MikeA]

i mean that when i towed my car i put it in gear and turned the key to run and the rpms did not leave 0, even tho the engine was doing about 2k. i towed the car using a tow strap

 

[ryukkid]

the rpm might be another issue,which isn't as important as making the car start.check all you're fuse make sure none are blown

 

[MikeA]

would that have any thing to do with the sensors in the distributor

 

[MikeA]

also does the ecm have anything to with the spark?

 

[ryukkid]

this might help you out with the rpm not responding
