1989 5.7 TPi GTA. Car wont start. Engine cranks, but I'm not getting any spark. Fuel pressure is good, coil and IGN Module are good also(swapped with two new ones I had), all fuses good, all wires to distributor and coil have power (accordingly). After all testing still no spark can anyone please help its gettin colder here which means its harder to work outside. Thanks in Advance.

PS -- is there some sort of in-line fuse, or fusible link, thats not in the fuse cluster under the dash that could have blown? If so where is it located?

 

Should be a ECM Fuel pump fuse between the battery and radiator on the core support

 

Have you checked for spark at the coil?

 

Have you checked the pick-up coil in the distributor? Also in answer to your P.S. the answer is no.

Also if he is getting good fuel pressure, the 20 AMP in-line fuse by the battery wouldn't be the problem.

 

No ihavent checked the pick up coil or for spark at the coil.....but I checked all the wires none had a spark. How do I check the Pick Up Coil?

 

Here you go!!!!!!!!!!

 

Checked resistance of pick up coil today.....my meter read a steady 757 ohms. So I'm guessing thats not it? I was really hopping it was. oh well back to the drawing board.

 

try a coil. Mine was the same way. The coil would test good. But! It was bad. The terminals were shot and when you put pressure on them they would make contact. Maybe this will help you?

 

Eureka! I got it. When I went to re-assemble the module to the pick-up coil connector I noticed that one of the metal tabs on the connector was broken. The pick-up coil itself is good but the connector is bad...so I replaced the connector with another one I had lying around my garagere-assembled and bam! it started right up. Thanks everyone for your help, it is most appreciated.
