nope... im waiting right now, was going to try to find a sidekick sport ignitor but i have a q45 and havent been able to find a good wiring diagram for it... i have the one from heavy throttle but am unsure about using that one....

without the ignitor everything should still work though right??? i just shouldnt get spark to the motor which is what i was hoping for

anyone???? i need this car running within the next week since next week my daily will be in the shop getting painted... any help would be greatly appreciated

make sure your chassis is grounded well, i had the same problem and it was my chassis ground.

well thats not going to do anything if your primary ground isnt making a good connection. it sounds like it is by your description, but try taking that ground off the frame rail and stick it somewhere bare (no paint, undercoating, etc).
also i know it sounds silly but are you sure your battery is good?

BoostinGST · 12-11-2006, 12:18 AM

bump... if it will help anyone i'll try to get some video tomorrow of whats going on

BoostinGST · 12-15-2006, 11:13 AM

thanks for all your help ansky... i traced the problem back to the harness behind the dash... it ends up most of the wires behind the fusebox are disconnected... i bought this car not running and i will never do that again...

aNskY · 12-15-2006, 03:10 PM

BoostinGST · 12-18-2006, 09:57 PM
