traps Posted September 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 we tested vac to see if it would close and also if while driving it acted different. We only do test runs in front of mechanics street and then hooked it back up. we have tapped and giggled almost every friggin wire it seems....at first we thought it was the ecu cause i would hit it to start. We have followed the wires to the ignitor bos as in it has power in and no power out to ignition. Got a good box ?LOL cause a knew one from american standard was 350. i can't just throw out 350 to see if it fixes the problem right now. I would buy a used one....

The Rabbit1 Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 (edited) I will say it one more time, I had that problem last week, I tested the distributor pickup and it was at 1180 ohms, specs are 920-1120.. somehow it was still running, so I changed it anyway.. and I no longer have a weak spark, take five minutes and check it instead of $500 and five days avoiding doing the simple tests the FSM tells you to do..

traps Posted September 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Rabit ya got it.Check this crap out ya'll.....my mechanic told me tonight and this he found "funny" they drove my car in reverse and it boosted and didn't backfire! Jokingly they said they would turn the body around, it would give me a lefty driver and a front wheel drive like a true jap car......not funny....I want 4 more gears lol. This does sound odd, they said they have a spare coil a jacobs in the garage and they are going to check it just in case. he said the Blaster coils are known at times to crap out even when they are fairly knew, who knows we shakll see and also saw some smoke coming from fusible box. so a wire is getting hot....amps vs volts all that electrical crap so something is really drawing the heat from a bad connection . I can update more tomorrow hopefuly but still grabbin a knock box in case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
