Subject: Re: MF'r broke down....round two!!! by Matatk on 2011/6/18 1:57:38 Tinkered a little tonight. Decided to do some alternate testing than the fsm step by step which is time consuming. I checked again for power at tach and batt terminals, both good. I checked with a test light at the tach terminal when cranking and couldn't get consistent light...it would blink a little stop...that might reference the ignition coil. Tested that and it shows infinite ohms between rotor button and both battery and tach...which means it's bad. [EDIT - see below, this is not correct testing procedure] Tested the pickup coil and it tests good. Turned the motor by hand and the distributor was spinning...also good. So as far as troubleshooting goes right now, the ignition coil will be replaced. And this time with an ac delco, no parts store crap. I've learned that the aftermarket sensors and electrical parts are mostly crap...I'm done with those. I'll keep you all updated. Matthew |
