So I have 2 1992 Camaros. One is a V6 and the other a V8. I have been driving the V6 for a few months and decided to drive the V8 for a bit. This morning after drivng the V8 for about a week I try to start it and it wasnt firing. I was in a rush for work so I hopped into the V6 and THE SAME THING!!! Called into work... Checked both cars and neither have spark. So after a ton of testing and tinkering the V6 all of a sudden started right up like nothing ever happened. I took that moment and went to pick up a coil for the V8. Once I replaced the coil on the V8 it fired right up. After I test drove the V8 I decided to try to start the V6 again to make sure all was good.... NOPE! The V6 Has no spark. Tommorrow I am going to get a new coil for it as well but does anyone have any theories why BOTH would all of a sudden crap out on the same day?! The V8 was a MSD coil that was about 8 years old and the V6 coil is a "stock" coil new from about 6 months ago... Weired? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

 

Sounds like a spark module issue inside the distributor. Had the same thing happen to several of my HEI ignition automobiles.

EMP??...You got ufo's visiting?... lol j/k

Odd coincidence is all, I'd say.

 

Check your battery cables. Hot to cold to hot days cause condensation and a thin layer of rust/corrosion will keep them from starting.

 

So far the common theory is EMP/UFOs..... lol. I am in Florida and we havent had any cold as of yet but the cables still wouldnt explain the engine starter fully engaging and there not being any spark . The module.... possibly but my confusion is the fact that they both happened the same day. I think I need to stay inside or I may get struck by lightning three times in a row while walking down the road on a clear day...

 

Sorry - missed the cranking bit. Go buy a lottery ticket......
