Wooo doggies... I've got an issue that I can't seem to track down with my electrical system, spark to be specific.
Yesterday, on my preliminary final test drive after triple checking everything, I started to try to drive it to school, and at a nice 4 way intersection I launch the car off. Boom! Car starts slowing down with no revs, and I immediately know it's the coil pack.
I order a new coil pack from Conicelli, and have it shipped for today.
Well, I reinstalled the coil pack, and the car still doesn't work.
Symptoms:
Car turns/cranks over constantly, like normal starting, but with no spark.
Electrical pulses are being sent to the injectors, so it's not the fuel system.
Compression is even across the board.
All fuses are good.
Problem: From the Triangle style connector spark, I'm getting constant power. From the coil pack itself, I'm getting no spark at all. This is a brand new coil pack with new plugs/wires. My only guess is I'm missing a ground wire somewhere, but I can't see anywhere that would be around that. Anything (Wires, grounds?) I should check out would be appreciated.
Thanks!
