Another, "My SR wont start thread" - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Well I installed my SR, its cranks but wont spark. I get fuel but no spark. I just replaced the CAS cause the one I recieved was busted. Ok, so I ran the multimeter on the ECU side of the ignitor clip (on the wiring harness). I got 12v on all the pins constantly. Even when I was NOT cranking it. Plugged in the ignitor, cranked the motor, checked the pins on the 'out" side of the ignitor and nothing. Any ideas?

Bump, Could it be the ignitor? Ecu? or wiring? I was told that the ignitor could be wired any way, as long as it was the same wire going through out the other side.

check all your grounds like on the fuse box and stuff like that.it could be the ignitor. i had the same problem, and it was just cause my ignitor wasnt plugged in rite.

did you check for constant power at the coils
center wire should be B+ with the key on
and check the coil harness ground on the back of the head
and the ground from back of the head to firewall

As mentioned, check your grounds per service manual. The valvecover needs a ground to it. I wasnt getting spark because mine wasn't grounded..

when you put the motor in. did u switch the wires that plug into the body harness?.. if so the ecu ground thats located under the fuse panel on the pas side id check that too
