has this ever happened to you??

tested the resistance of the primary coil it tested good. yet it wasn't sparking??

what's up with that sheit? maybe the igniter went bad, but there isn't a spec for the igniter. this also comes on the heals of my secondary coils death too. i realy hate when things like that happen

Really, the coil packs are damn reliable. I would start with the spark plugs - badly fouled plugs will offer no spark. Also check the plug wires.

i agree with dale on this one.
step one: is to check the plugs, and wires
step two: is to make sure you have 12v at the coils
step three: is to make sure you get continuity back to the ecu
step four: is to make sure the crank angle sensor works, and has continuity back to the ecu
step five: is to either replace the ecu or the coils, cause one of the 2 is bad, and there no easy way to check either one.
i went thru this whole thing on my t2, learn from my hardships young one
