T1 coil not firing

Oh I just remember that the ground is another wire, it's not on each of the connectors. I'll check the wire with a multimeter. Where should I bolt it? It actually is plugged just below the T1 coil.

Checked "continuity" on both wires, seems fine... If my problem was the igniter, T2 wouldn't work too?
I had an idea. Can I cut the T1 connector and solder the wires with T2?

Check to see if they are indeed within specs. Let me find out how to test the igniter.

I tested my coils, they're all fine. (also tried connecting T1 connector on T2 coil and it won't fire, but if I connect T2 connector on T1 coil, it works).
Here's how you do it, however since you dont have the SST, I would double check the voltage to make sure. IF the voltage is there, then I would say you probably have a bad igniter not firing correctly even though voltage present.
See if any FD owners are near you, ask them to swap a good known igniter and see if that fixes the problem. That's probably the most efficient way to do so.

Trailing Side
Insert positive voltmeter lead into brown (front rotor trailing) or gray (rear rotor trailing) lead of SST adapter harness and verify meter shows battery voltage.
Press tester switch 2 to ON and verify that voltmeter needle moves.
Leading Side
Insert positive voltmeter lead into black lead of SST adapter harness and verify meter shows battery voltage.
Press tester switch 2 to ON and verify that voltmeter needle moves.
Replace igniter if it fails any of these tests.

BTW nearest FD owner is at 250 miles.
Your help is really appreciated!

Offer the guy(or gal) and keg of beer + a meal...I'd accept that...check the FS section for one.
If the continuity is good, then your igniter is bad. It's a pleasure to help others. However, remember one thing. Help others when you can and that's all I am asking in return ^___^
