hey guys im victor from virginia just brought this 1990 blaze red s5 glx a few weeks ago for 500 bucks and cant wait to get her running.

 

Dang, nice pickup!

 

Great deal what's wrong with her

 

I Think the ecu is screwed or something. The engine isn't getting fire to the plugs at all. My leading #1 coil sparked a few times but now none of them will fire.

 

Nice buy! Sounds silly, but have you tried a new battery? I've seen really quirky things happen with crap batteries.

 

Nice ride. Check all coils make sure they arent cracked. I had a couple T2 coils crack on me and ground out so the car wont start. Also locate the ignitor make sure its in tact and not burnt up. I think itsvon the coil packs for that year. Not sure..

 

I have 2 sets of coils for the leading and trailing and neither of the sets will will fire, they have 12 volts going to them but they won't fire for some reason I'm guessing the computer isn't sending the signal to fire to the coils. I don't remember seeing any cracks on my igniters

 

have you checked the EGI fuses and made sure that the CAS is connected?

 

Nice!

 

best way to check ecm is to get the pinout diagram and take a voltage meter to measure the pulses from the ignition pins coming out of the ecm to the ignitor when you turn it over. should be three pins. if your at the ecu might as well check to make sure it is getting power to it. =)

 

oh and the ignitor pulses the ground negative(-) and there should be constant 12 volts going to the coils/ ignitor like u said..

 

Beautifull , great score man, got some fun times ahead fixin that one

 

Very nice buy

 

Did you find out what was wrong with it?

 

wow...thats a great buy. seems to be in great shape. you should definetly start a build thread and let us know the progress

 

Nice Find! That car looks great. Hopefully it's an easy fix for ya.

 

i havent had time to diagnose if the ecu is the culprit yet but hopefully i can by monday but im having a hard time finding the ecu pinout for the s5 ecu that is clear enough to read.

 

Pretty sweet car for the money.

 

Nice buy hope you get her running soon
