1 spark then dies

When cranking, I'll get 1 spark from L1, then nothing.
I'm checking out the cas wiring.

Anywhere else I should focus attention?

spin the cas by hand, and look to see if you see any spark.

No spark when spinning by hand.

Does the trailing work properly. The coil gets its ground by way of being mounted to the fender so you might want to clean that up. The issue could also be the plugs,wires or the coil/igniter itself. And the grounding system for the ECU might also be suspect.

If the ECU isn't seeing the G signal from the CAS, this may happen.

Also, look near the trailing coil area and there is a plug w/the wires for the CAS so check to make sure the connection is good. The wires coming off the CAS are the same color as those found in the plug I speak of.
