ok ive searched the NO SPARK issue.
im helping a friend who just bought a 90 gst that wasnt running for $400.00.Were not getting any spark(no signal to the coil)were going to check the cas on saturday.When last i was over to his house i took my ecu,and some tools.When i inspected the engine i found that the head was either new or recently replaced.Which tells me that all the sensors were disconected,so i started tracing the wiring harness to be sure everything was pluged in properly.
This is when i found that the knock sensor was destroyed,the entire back half was missing , leaving only the metal body screwed into the block.Would this cause no signal to the coil ?would the ECU not reading a knock sensor not signal for spark?
im just doing a little info gathering before the saturday work.i wouldnt want to spend 2 hours chasing the wrong lead.were going to replace the knock sensor ,check the cas and install my ecu.
Anything else i should look for or check would be appriciated.
