Here's the problem. The car was originally a 350 TPI and now has an LS1 but I thought I post here for more views. The engine was cranking at one point and then all of a sudden it just died. I get no crank at all and I get no power to my coils from my ignition wire which is a big pink wire. I already replaced the ignition switch but I get no power and no crank. The dash lights do turn on and I do have a strong battery. The neutral switch has been bypassed so that's not the problem. My question is if there is a fuse linked to the ignition switch that could of gone bad? and is there anything else that could kill ignition power and the starter?

 

Anyone want to give it a shot?

 

Fusible link (at the starter)

 

but that would not cause no ignition or power going to my coils and injectors would it?

 

Yes, it would. There will be no power ANYWHERE, except at the battery.... Do your idiot lights come on? Do the gauges "test" when you turn the key to start? Does your radio/accessories work at all?

 

No idiot lights cause I don't have a functioning one and my fuel pump is independent from the harness but my gauges work and my lights turn on. Did a fusible link to the starter come with our original harness? If it did where would it be?

 

Yes, 2 of them at least, in fact.

At the starter, as posted above.

There are 2 big fat red wires that feed power into the passenger compartment of the car. They attach to the + terminal of the battery at the far end of the + battery cable, where it hooks to the starter solenoid. The fusible links act like fuses to protect those large wires in case of a short (which without some kind of a fuse, could easily set the car's wiring on fire), without introducing a corrosion-prone and otherwise unreliable contact connection to a self-contained "fuse". Each of them feeds about half of the car's circuits. In addition to each of them feeding about half of the fusebox stuff, they also feed the high-power stuff in the car that DOES NOT go through the fuse box. One feeds power to the ignition switch, which is of course then responsible for ignition, accessory, radio, HVAC, etc.; one feeds power to the headlight switch; the power for the little junction block above the hood release cable, which feeds the power windows, power door locks, power seats, and various other such high-power things, comes from one; and so on. Long story short, if one of them burns out, about half of the car's circuits will be dead, but about half will still be alive.

See my signature for help troubleshooting electrical problems. I believe this is a situation where it might apply.

You can get new ones at the parts store.

 

Ok I will go and check that....
