My car has been sitting for a while and my buddy and I have been going down the list trying to figure out why it wont start. It will crank but it wont turn over. The crank isnt weak either.

We checked all the basic stuff like the battery, its getting fuel, CAS is good, brand new alternator. Although when we checked the coil pack it had small holes where the wires connect therefore causing the misfire that was happening right before the car stopped working. We took out the coil pack and I got one from my buddy who had an extra used one but it turns out that 1 of the packs on it had the same problem. So I went to pep boys and bought one and hooked it on the bracket with the other good pack.

We go to check for spark and get it on all plugs except for the 2 & 3rd. Any ideas. This is the brand new coil pack I just bought? The only thing I can think of is because its a 2g coil pack. Aren't they the same though. We have not taken the ECU apart yet but I'm thinking thats next. Any other suggestions before we do that?

This is starting to make me angry :mad:
 
If one coil is getting spark..and one isnt then would it be the powere transister? I wouldnt think so... But anyway I went to look at the ECU last night and figured out that its just a hack job from the kid who had it before me. There is also a ECU+ so they just rushed to get that hooked up and left wires out in the open that are live. I have't had a problem with this before because the car was running fine...do you think that this could be the cause??? Maybe it got kicked or jossled around? Any other ideas besides that?
 
well get all the live wires taken care of, then try again, then get at us....


i'm going with above suggestion for power transistor....

pin 23 is labeled: ignition power transistor (B - to coil for cyl 2&3)

so pin that and check for voltage out of the ECU, and if that checks out, i would replace the ignition power transistor....
