my engine is turning but i am not getting any fire from the coils, any ideas?

 

OK. What year is your car?

 

checking for B+ voltage on the primary side of the coils when the ignition switch is turned on, and that the primary side is switching on & off when cranking.

 

it is an 86 non turbo, i checked voltage and i only have 3-4 volts going to leading coil, do you know where power is coming from right before the coils,
also i had a rat get hold of my wires going to my right head light, fixed that, and the starter cable was loose and making the car short out.
i am afraid something might be fried from that.

 

check the crank sensor

 

what do i need to check the cas for, 12vdc?

 

Pull the CAS from the engine and then key the car on. Spin it with your fingers. Do you get spark?

If no, then check the black/yellow wire at the leading coil plug for 12V with the key on. 12V?

If yes, then you have a CAS or ECU problem.

If no, then check the EGI fuse and main relay.

 

check to see if the ecu is grounded good cause that happened on my s5 and i moved around my ecu ground and then i got spark

 

ok, thanks guys i'll check all that out in the morning and let you know what i find

 

i took out the two main srews on the cas, and it won't hardly budge. does it pull straight out? is there something i am missing? i just don't want to break it.

 

The CAS is held to the engine via one nut on the base.

I should mention that removing the CAS means that it needs to be restabbed correctly. Probably better to check the voltages at the coil first.

 

ok i got the cas out, spun it, nothing
i have half a volt at the black/yellow wire at leading coil
changed fuses main and egi comp
where is the main relay and ecu ground?

 

ok got it, the wires going to the main relay were chewed up, spliced them and it stared right up

 

Cool.
