What? Try to rephrase it all just a bit, I'm not quite comprehending what you're trying to say...

my leading coil ignitor assembaly sparks when i just start cranking my engine over then it cuts out and nothing from it after that but the trailing works just fine but when i hook up the wires from the trailing to leading it works just fine and i also just replaced the leading coil and ignitor because it was fried

I didn't think our cars would run with only the trailing- how are you verifying that the leading is falling off. Does it die?

If the original leading coil was fried, and you replaced it and now have the same problems, it's time to start checking the wiring and ECU timing signals...

derek420

yes my car is running off the trailing with some timing adjustments. when i hook my timing light up to the leading coil plug wires and start cranking i get spark for a few seconds then just stops and i tested the coil ignitor assembly and it is fine

Pull a leading plug and visually check for spark- timing lights are notoriously unreliable on our rotaries...

If your coil reads out good, and you're getting power from the main relay with key on (black/ yellow wire), and you're getting the .8v or so timing signal while cranking (green/ yellow), you should be good to go...

Or you could use Hailer's trick of setting the plugs (connected) on the engine and spinning the CAS by hand to watch the fireworks... Key on, of course...

are you saying that you connected the trailing coils to the leading plugs, and you are running your car like that?

yea sorry forgot to say i did check for arc does for a second when cranking then nothing never tried taking out the CAS and turning it by hand this time and it is getting a signal then cutting out and yes yes the trailing wires are on my leading plugs for now but im not driving it like that
