Re: Now, car wont Start....... Reply #30 – January 24, 2005, 01:24:53 PM With a test light:"Look at" the batt/+ terminal of the coil. It should light with the ignition in run or start.If no light it is probably the ignition switch."Look at" the tach/- terminal of the coil. It should blink when the engine is cranking.If the light is always on the TFI is not grounding it. The TFI is probably bad. Could possibly be the stator.If the light is always off the TFI is a constant ground or the coil primary winding is open. Unplug the TFI. If the light comes on the coil is not open.If you want to guess; go for the TFI. Quote Selected
Re: Now, car wont Start....... Reply #31 – January 27, 2005, 10:41:40 PM I have called the mechanic. Oh no....... HE HAD TWO DAYS WORKING IN THE CAR AND STILL NOT RUN..... I have bought and put: The new Duraspark module New TFI New Distributor Cap He had remove the entire dist to check it..... And maybe tomorrow im going to buy a new coil...... At least if the car gets fixed, all the parts are new and i wont be worried for electrical problems, but for now this is expensive for me. I hope that tomorrow will be the good day. But if the mechanic told me that the distributor is bad, will be the time to junk the entire car...... Quote Selected
Re: Now, car wont Start....... Reply #32 – January 28, 2005, 07:51:43 AM Did you ever put a new ignition switch on? not the key switch, but the module down on the steering column. :) Quote Selected
Re: Now, car wont Start....... Reply #33 – January 28, 2005, 11:55:24 AM Exactly where is located that switch ? The mechanic in his tests has bypased some things and he starts the car like the MaterBlaster says in his reply (and diagram) with the screwdriver. Of course, í appreciate all your helps.

Re: Now, car wont Start....... Reply #34 – January 28, 2005, 12:04:39 PM Well, if your mechanic is trying to start the car at the solenoid, then that rules out the switch. Make sure you have the key turned on when you cross the solenoid. :) Quote Selected
Re: Now, car wont Start....... Reply #35 – January 31, 2005, 04:05:06 PM Just like i tought, the stupid mechanic son of a b!""#$ left my car worse ! he only change the old pieces and i bought newer ones, but he did not any adjustement to the car. He´ll never come back because he don´t know how to fix my car. The worse part is, he has my Coil and the Distributor rotor. Anyway, im gonna change those parts....... At this point, i have changed the mayority, if not all, of the electrical system in the engine. The only part that i did not change is the Ballast resistor, the Distributor stator and the Coil. I guess that im going to buy those parts too, and if the car wont run, im going to start thinking in worse problems like Chain Timming or Compresion. Will be time to junk this car.......

Re: Now, car wont Start....... Reply #36 – February 03, 2005, 10:30:25 PM The mechanic admit that he can´t fix my car. He gave me my old parts and the revisions were without cost .My car still not run. Maybe its my bad luck. I guess im going to break my record of "no start car" with this problem. The last was the fuel pump and the car sat about 2 months. O.k tomorrow i´m gonna put all the parts and maybe "try" some... Quote Selected
Re: Now, car wont Start....... Reply #37 – February 04, 2005, 12:45:14 AM That sucks major, I am in pretty much the same boat, wish I could help Quote Selected
Re: Now, car wont Start....... Reply #38 – February 04, 2005, 01:27:37 PM Today, put all the parts. No luck.... I´m thinking in 3 possibilities: 1.- Buy the coil. Cost: 25 USD. If this wont work, ill be in bankrupt. 2.- Buy the Stator. I don´t know how to install that and i have to require a mechanic to put it (another...). Cost: i don´t know how much but more expensive that the coil. If won´t work, bankrupt.3.- Consider all my problems with the car, changing the entire dist cost here near the equivalent of 250 USD . I have heard that into the Dist there is a "Pick-up" sensor and that is irreplaceable. If this were my real problem, no cost. I don´t going to change a part that cost the half that my car cost when mom bought it. What will you do in that case ? Quote Selected
Re: Now, car wont Start....... Reply #39 – February 04, 2005, 01:39:48 PM I think the Stator and the Pickup coil are the same thing. And it's not too hard to change yourself. Quote Selected
Re: Now, car wont Start....... Reply #40 – February 04, 2005, 01:47:08 PM Ah, that´s ok. Excuse me, but i don´t know that the "pick up sensor and the stator" are the same part. Here we called "Estator" or "Conjunto de captacion magnetica". Sorry my english... Quote Selected
Re: Now, car wont Start....... Reply #41 – February 04, 2005, 01:49:56 PM No apologies needed. If I remember correctly, it is down inside the distributor underneath the rotor. Quote Selected
