There is something wrong with my distrubutor. When the engine is cold it gets no spark. After some hard starting It finally starts after 15 mins.

The engine runs very rough til it warms. Once the engine is warm you can shut it off and it starts right up. It takes about 6 hours of not running the car before it looses spark.

Even when it does run. It backfires and it lacks power, and runs rough.

I replaced the Ignition module, the distrubutor cap, rotor, coil. and fixed some wires.

And I still have the same probelm. I have no Idea what is wrong. Please help me. Thanx.

 

help!

 

Anyone?

 

here it's carbed.. and when it's cold. it is hard to start... by lowering the temp out side you increes the temp the gas has to be at to vaporize or atomize with the air to start the car... just give it a lil bit of gas before starting it and while starting it it'll start better. and how in the world do you know it's your spark

 

Because I checked, Its not getting spark intitally.

 

Get your igniton module tested and test your coil. Did you do any troubleshooting other than to note that it happens only when the motor is cold? And what do you mean by hard starting for 15 minutes? It takes this long to start, or it takes this long before the car is warm enough to start easily?

 

I found out what the probelm is, Its my Pick up coil for sure. However I do not know how to change the pick up coil

 

you have to take thewhole dizzy aark to change that.
