ok well i got my t3 swap done this weekend..somethin stil wasnt rite tho...i checked things and finally i checked ignition timing...it was 18 degrees retarded!!! why i was doin that the car started to act like it wanted to die..idle drop and come back up...did thata couple times then it start...so i went to work ad halfway there it started doing it again...butwhen drivin felt like i was hittin a speed limiter or hittin the brakes hard n fast and the rpms would drop from 2500 to 2000 just ike that and then pick back up,i continued to driveto work puttin up with this, i got there, let it run and it was ok...SO at lunch i wanted to fix my timing,i started i up and drove to back of shop, let it sit an idle while i got exhaust hoses so i could bring inside...i come out and car is dead, wont crank,got jump box and it startd up and puled into shop letting it run.while i was tryin to get socket on hold down bolt it died again and wouldnt start, so ijumped it again and a coworker said it had to be my alt...but mine was somewhat new...so it died again and i looked at the alt. the single power or ground wire was pulled off...it then accidently touched the alt and sparked...so i figured it would fix it in asec, so i tryedto get socket on bolt again and then I HEARD A NOISE AND A PUFF OF SMOKE CAME FROM THE DISTRIBUTOR AND COIL AREA...i laughed it off and finally got socket on bolt..had a guy try to start it but no luck...we fixed the wre goin to alt and tryed and still no luck, so i figured it was the coil...got the girlfriend to buy and bring me one and i tryed after work...still no luck...so what else could it be? ignition module? fusible links(if so which one?) please help i need my car
ok...i swaped ign mod and dead timed the car...still no start...
well still no luck yet, but i did figure out i have no power to the + side of the coil, but i do at the ground...now i followed a LIGHT GREEN/red wire from altenator to a junction where 3 liness goto 1 line...that light green/red line had no continewity(however u spell it) im not exactly sure how to change fuse links cause it looks like on some of them they have 3 to 1 wires, anybody have any wiring diagrams,or tell me what colorst to test,which is hot wire..need halp bad,wana drive car with new t3!
