i had to replace the timming belt and take the head off due to bent valves. and now no spark. i have power to the coils and the transistor but just no spark at the plugs?:mad:


and the turbo and none of the exhaust is hooked up wait on some parts but i should still be getting spark.
 
Did you damage or leave unplugged the crank angle or cam angle sensors?
Measure coils pri/sec resistances and see if within spec.
Test power transistors - here's how:
(Note: The pin numbers for the following are the ones on the power transistor side connector – not the ones on the harness side connector (for which I put the wire color in parenthesis for reference).

Unplug the power transistor 8 pin connector.

To test the power transistor for cylinders 1 & 4:
Connect the negative side of a 1.5V battery to pin 3 (black wire) of the connector. Connect the negative side of a 12V battery also to pin 3. Connect the 12V battery positive to one side of a 12V light bulb. Connect the other side of the 12V light bulb to pin 8 (black/white). The light should not be on. Now connect the 1.5V battery positive to pin 7 (black/blue). The light should go on.

To test the power transistor for cylinders 2 & 3:
Connect the negative side of a 1.5V battery to pin 3 (black wire) of the connector. Connect the negative side of a 12V battery also to pin 3. Connect the 12V battery positive to one side of a 12V light bulb. Connect the other side of the 12V light bulb to pin 1 (blue/black). The light should not be on. Now connect the 1.5V battery positive to pin 2 (brown/red). The light should go on.
 
crank and cam sensor are conneted i had to take them both off and replace the crank because the blance belt wiped it out. but i will test the tranisotor. how would i get 1.5v just from somthing like a AA battery?
 
The plug for the A/C compressor is the same as the crank sensor, if they are switched you would have similar problems.

i found out the crank sens. was just on backwards ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL :mad:
