HI No spark. Need some advice

So yet here we go again another starting problem. But I think I figured out what it is. I just dont know how to test the igniter to see if its getting any thing to the ingnition coils. So any advice or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I assume you already checked the three ignition coils? It's easier if you flip the module upside down so the wires are facing up.

You need to probe the brown (front rotor-Trailing) and gray (rear rotor-Trailing) wire and check for 12 volts.

Then probe black (Leading) wire.

Give me a call...I'm in Wahiawa, HI 808 457 2099

My friend had similar problems, the FD would start, then die out. Could not even make it up the driveway without petering out. Found out his rear rotor trailing coil was defective, did not have any continulity.

I would first check out all the coils, that's the easy part, taking off the intake is the bitch. Give me a call....
