No spark on plugs?

[Skillz]

I think my post got delted? Can't seem to find it now.

Anyway, I am not getting any spark to the plugs. Question, those LEDs in the GM Translator, should they blink when the key is turned on? Or do something? If not, then what do I need to do? Could that prevent spark to the plugs? Slowly I am starting to hate DSMs again, haha.

Dont know about the LEDs but have you checked your plug wires to make sure your not losing your spark there..

Hey, yes I have. I have taken the coil packs out, and swapped them with some that I KNOW work. Still did not change anything. I also replaced the plugs, in which I then realized the engine it getting some serious detination. (One of the plug tips was broke off.) Plus, the plugs are black, which I think means oil is getting to them. However, all that should not stop spark from getting to the plugs atleast. Should it?

Later today, if it ever stops raining; I will swap ECUs between my two Talons, and see if that has any effect.

No the oil will not stop the plug from sparking however if you have oil in your plugs you might have a bad piston ring and I would definaltly have that checked cause you are burning oil. Also check your distributor for carbon build up that may stop the spark or your distributor could be completely bad.
