We Have ignition . . . . . . . .

Grab a test light (the type for testing for voltage, not a continuity tester).

Connect one lead to the coil primary
(the ignition module side not the key side) and the other lead to ground.

Crank the engine.

Does the test light FLASH while cranking?

Be aware of the difference of FLASHING verses PULSATING which will be observed when you have the test light connected to the key side.


Happy Racing !
