Alright, finally got to working on my 1996 Eagle Talon 420a. I can crank the car just fine, not much resistance. Fuel and air seem to be okay, but I have 0 spark.
Here are the facts as I know them:
Let me know if I missed something or if I should be running other tests.
Here are the facts as I know them:
- Firstly, original engine caught fire over 12 years ago and was replaced with a 1999 420a out of an eclipse. And you can tell. Lots of wires redone and stuff like that, but it wasn't a poorly done swap overall.
- Coil pack is receiving power, coil pack is also brand new and I redid the wiring just in case it was done poorly before.
- Cam and crank sensors are also brand new. Have not tested crank sensor, but cam sensor should at least be receiving power since I redid the wiring and tested it with a meter.
- ASD relay is working, and clicks when the car begins to crank.
- Injectors are rebuilt and fuel is getting to the rail. Dont have pressure numbers or anything
- Air appears to be brand new and no obstructions otherwise
- Car will turn over, and the cranking sounds much more consistent now that there is a new coil pack.
- battery is known to be good, chassis ground for the battery had to be replaced due to corrosion.
- Check engine light comes on during cranking, as does the battery light
- No tach bounce during cranking
- No stored codes
- No spark from the coil pack wires
Let me know if I missed something or if I should be running other tests.
