Title: Where's the spark at?
Post by: 88cat on February 15, 2006, 10:12:17 AM
Im having trouble with my 2.3 turbo swap mostly every sensor needed is hooked up and I dont have any spark. Im swaping in the engine to a 88 cougar and I wired the coil to the green yellow tracer negative and the red green tracer positive and no spark. I also hooked up the msd box and same deal I cant find the spark what could be the problem?

Is there voltage at the coil? (R/G wire)

You say "mostly every sensor" is hooked up.  What isn't?

Any pics?  Hard to work on this thing with your eyes closed.

Try disconnecting the SPOUT connector. That will get the EEC out of the picture.
