I have a problem , i just swapped a used turbo 2 motor into my fc , the motor works great by the way but thats not the problem, what me and my friends have come up with is my ignition , is bad along with the coil packs , i was wondering if any one else could give me any information , if this problem has happened to any one else , i am going to do a continuity test later this week, and i am also going to see what color is the spark and if it is even arching at all . any answers to my problem would be much appricated thank you ..

 

symptoms? and why do you think its the ignition? how are the sparkplugs?

 

im not sure if it is it could very well be the sark plugs but im not sure if there fouled or not i recently purchased the car and the plugs havent been changed yet bet if the ignitions wires are damaged that can also be another reason

 

i think you went through all that and never mentioned the problem.

 

...check to make sure the ignition wires goto the right plugs first of all. A backwards wired rotary isn't going to be happy...

 

some symtoms are the car sounds like it wants to trun over but does not wanna start, it had a rough idel but i know it wasnt the engine , besides that im not sur with out running more tests, i also need to find a moderately priced ignition any where between 200 and 400$ does any one no of any ignition systems in that price range or an alternative to buying a new one

 

i know for a fact that they are in the correct order, what happened was i was driving and it the engine just shut off like i said before it wanted to stall as soon as it was turned on i had to keep giving it gas for it to work if i stop it would have shut off But it shut off any way

 

$400 for iginition? Heh... thats a waste, entire used system from CAS to coils will only cost about $100 or so. You need to search on the ignition system. The stock FC ignition is as, or more pwoerful than alot of aftermarket systems. First, make sure its actually the igintion, I'm doubting it is.

 

the stock coil/ignition system was 230 for the lead coil/ igniton and 578 for the trailing coil/igntion

 

..from the dealer. NEVER goto the dealer.

EDIT: Except pilot bearing seals, no one else makes them.

 

and i have been looking every where on line , i don't think the coil packs went bad because they rarely do , but i do think it is some thing to do with the igniton

 

yea because i check on mazdatrix and the price made me laugh a lil

 

Check your timing?

 

but with the igntion wires, from me doing the motor swap i could have broken the carbon inside , but i dont understand why it ran for a lilttle and then jes shut off

 

check timing?

 

ok ill try to get my hands on a timing light

 

I can't even formulate an answer, I need a decoder ring to read that.

 

huh what are you talking about

 

i also wanted to know what size sheet metal do i need to make a flange for inbetween my downpipe and test pipe is it 1 and 1/4 inch ?
