no spark #2 and #3 cylinder


power transistors is good. and coils will be checked in a couple minutes. if they come out good then what else should i look at. does anyone have schematic or diagram to check volt / resistance / ohms.

any ideas?

what sends voltage to the connector harness of the power transistor unit? I place the car to the on position and receive voltage from pin 3 and 6 which of course allows the signal to be received and fire on 1&4 cylinder. now when pin 2 and 3 is checked I have nothing. should have voltage from 1-5 (varying) and its dead. I checked connectors to ecu and ground which are good. could this be ecu or cam angle sensor?

The ECU receives the signals from the CAS, MAF, IAT, ECT, TPS, IPS, etc and processes them. It outputs signals to the Power Transistor, Injectors, BSC, Purge Solenoid, FPS, ISC, Fuel Pump.

Some of the inputs the ECU actually provides a bias voltage that the sensor pulls down. That's how the CAS and IPS signals work.

Did you open the case on your ECU to see if the caps had leaked. That's the most common cause of it failing.

You'll have better luck in the 420A forums, they are completely different from the 4G63. For Example:

No spark...No start...HELP!!!!
Car died in intersection .
Car wont start
