I purchased the car 3 weeks ago and it run good,but yesterday went to the store and when I came out the car would not start I tow it to my house and checked the gasoline( good flow )and checked the fire to the plugs,I have good spark at L1,L2 plugs but none for T1,T2 my friend sugested to change one of the modules wich I did whith no good results,so i replaced the primary ignition coil but still no power to T1,T2 plugs.


ANY SUGESTIONS WOULD BE APRECIATED.

Bad plug wires, bad trailing ignition coil, bad trailing ignitor. If the ignitor is dead, your tach will not work. Also, if you have a haynes manual, it will tell you a very easy way to test if ignitors work or not.

I don't think the fact that your trailing plugs aren't firing are the cause of your starting problem. My trailing plugs weren't working when I first rebuilt my 12a, yet I drove it for about 500 miles before I fixed the problem, after replacing distributor cap, rotor, plug wires, I finally found out it was the new spark plugs I had originally installed.

By the way, just because you're leading plugs are sparking, doesn't mean they're sparking enough to ignite the fuel. I would simply try replacing everything I mentioned above, a simple tune up. This solved many of my starting problems. You may want to try replacing the fuel filter too. Just because there's fuel, doesn't mean there's enough pressure, I think you can get a universal one for about $2. I think spark plugs are about $4 each, plug wires about $15, distributor cap and rotor another $15 or $20. Altogether, a cheap fix.
