I just got another turbocoupe yesterday that wont start.I checked all that I can without having a wiring diagram.So heres the deal=No power to coil,think its bad ign.switch,already changed eec.Is there anyway to check or bypass ign. switch?
Easy test: Jumper coil pos terminal to batt pos terminal. See if you have spark / car starts. If it doesm ig. sw. is bad, or circuit from ig. sw. to coil is open. Not 100% sure, but I think these is a fuse link in this circuit. I am at work, and cant check my EVTM to be sure.
I had a fusable link go bad that caused a no start in my last car. I'll try and dig up my post.
Nevermind, mine wasn't the one to the coil power, it was to the starter and such. But check the fusable links by the battery anyway, can't hurt!
I was gonna try to jump the coil but I wasnt sure if it would burn anything up.thanks for the help.i got shipped down south today with my job so ill try this next week when I go home.
EEC IV / TFI ignition systems dont have a resistor in the coil power lead like the "old days" of points and condensers, so no damage will result jumpering the coil right to the batt.
Jumped the coil today.Made a pop noise and started to spark for a second then stoped.now theres power to the coil without the jumper and still no spark= even tried a differ coil.any ideas?
You have to explain more of what you've done. Is there power at the coil with the key on in both run and start? What did you change when you changed the "eec"? How did you test for spark? Have you looked at the ignition switch?
Sorry for all the crap.today i pulled down the fuse block.Looks like the previouse owner played slice and splice.last question.How hard is it to replace the fuse block.Ive got all the parts in a parts car.
