FC 87 non turbo.....did the motor swap and it was successful car started..drove it around for a few days then noticed that one of the primary injectors was leaking...so what i did is i changed all the O rings on the injectors once i put everything back on the car didnt want to start......i tried the unflooding procedure but it still didnt start.....checked one of the leading spark cables to see if it was giving spark and it didnt....what happened anybody have any ideas please help

 

Pull the leading plugs and deflood to remove all fuel. Then try starting with a completely charged battery.

 

Go back over all of your connections, vacuum and electrical. If you don't have a copy of the FSM, follow the link to the online ones.

well i found out that the trailing coils were giving spark so i switched them and the car started......now the leading coils are still not giving spark anybody know why?.....i have the trailing spark wires on to the leading spark plugs.....dont know if its bad but the car seems perfect which is really weird...

 

How are you testing for spark?

 

pulling the wire off the coil and hold it next to it to actually see the spark......you also hear a ticking noise.....

 

i only got it from the trailing coils not the leading

 

Check all the connections to the leading coil. If you need a new coil, you can usually find them for about 20 bucks on Ebay...

 

my best guess is you need new coil packs... new wires and plugs would be smart to replace too... or it could be a simple bad battery alternator or starter...

 

A bad alternator or starter will in no way prevent the leading coil from sparking.

Coils also rarely fail, so it's best to test them with the procedures in the FSM before assuming they are bad.
