Re: car not starting no spark

I had an issue where I would get no spark turned out positive to the starter was loose never had the issue again. I would start there, and check to make sure ur grounds r good as well. Crack out the multimeter and start isolating from the battery on

Re: car not starting no spark

Its always the ignition module. I've had 3 of them fail on me over the years. 2 of them were Accel modules that failed within 6 months of each other. Make sure you buy a stock replacement type module. They seem to be much more reliable.
