Subject: Re: Car broke down.... by Matatk on 2010/10/22 1:32:47 So here's the status update: Got the set of NGK plugs - BKR6E - I called NGK tech line and that's two ranges colder than stock due to my upgrades. So I'm happy about that. Got a chance this afternoon to put them in. Using my new socket tool I made, I was able to get all the plugs installed in about 45 minutes (rough estimate). Went to fire it up and no go. WTF? Start going through the diagnostics again. It looks like I'll get one spark or maybe two during cranking, but if I continue cranking there are no more sparks. So per the FSM I'm going to the HEI troubleshooting area. Biggest problem I'm encountering is I don't have the ST-125 spark testing tool the manual requires.  Regardless, I did as many tests as I could, checking what I could. It seems to point to the ICM being bad again, although this is not 100% accurate without the correct spark tester. I'm gonna take it to autozone tomorrow to have them test it... I'll keep you posted. Matthew BTW - here is the troubleshooting flow chart:  |
