Make sure the intake ground strap is connected on the back passenger side of the intake.
Check that the crossover tube is bolted down.

The intake manifold. That big aluminum thing on top with the snakes and such? Make sure the ground strap is attached and the two bolts holding the crossover tube (the DIS is bolted to it) are there and tightened as well.

Also make sure that the PCM ground is connected. It's the small wire that runs from the neg. batty. terminal. Follow it to the connector.

No no...he's talking about the intake manifold; the big silver thing that looks like a bundle of snakes on the top. On the passenger side of it; there's a crossover tube with the gray DIS module attached to it. That tube is clamped to the main intake manifold setup. The ground strap is on that rear corner (passenger side). It's a fla wire with a little ring on the end. All of that needs to be good and tight. Your 4 screws holding the DIS on need to be tight, but I don't see any reason why you would have removed that.

Archer beat me to it.

Search the forum for "intake ground strap" and you'll find plenty of info, and even some helpful pictures.

How did you check for spark?

Did you ground the spark plug that you pulled out to check it with?

 

[SHOCH]

wait, you're a ******?

 

[93.SHO.junkie]

How did you check for spark?

Did you ground the spark plug that you pulled out to check it with?

yes i plugged a groung straight to spark plug and put it in the boot and cranked it but no spark

so i think wires or coil

 

[93.SHO.junkie]

yes im a sho ****** ive just never came across this problem...

 

[Whydah91]

Bad DIS coil?

 

[zach44102]

Ok here is a list of things to check since the ground strap in connected to the back of the intake manifold.

1. Check the crossover tube bracket. Be sure all 3 bolts are in it.
2. Are all 4 bolts in the dis?
3. Check for 12v at the coil pack
4. Did you replace the cps when you reset the timing?
5. If so did you properly gap the cps?
6. Any codes?
7. Try taking some speaker wire and wrap it around the 2 bottom dis bolts and ground those wires at the neg battery terminal

I sure hopes this helps.

 

[93.SHO.junkie]

ok from that list all 3 bolts are conected i only got 3 of the 4 bolts on the dis

and how do you reset the cps sensor

and idk how to test the coil cause i honestly think thats bad cause i conneted a bracket to the alternator and wen i plugged the battary in it shorted so i took it off but whatever that did i think broke it

i checked all fuses and inside fuses and relay up front

idk if theres any more relays that might be blown idk where they are located so if anyone can help :thankyou::thankyou::thankyou:

 

[93.SHO.junkie]

ok so the dis is bad i tested it and its bad... so if anyone has a good one for sale let me know or where i could get one:thankyou:

You might be able to score one at your local AutoZone.

 

[kevinspann]

Which three bolts did you have in the DIS?

 

[zach44102]

You cant really test a DIS. I know you can at autozone but out of the 4 I tested there that where "bad" three of them worked fine.

If you have only 3 DIS bolts you need the two on the bottom. Thats the grounding path.

 

[93.SHO.junkie]

ok well i got all 4 bolts in and the way to test the dis is with a volt meter put it on the risistance one and touch ground to one side and power to other and it will come up with a number for each one then you go to auto zone and do the same thing with volt meter to the new one if the numbers dont match you know something is bad in the one you got thats how i found out...'


also found out my timing is major bad idk how to time it it has no timing cover what so ever lol so idk :thankyou::thankyou::thankyou:
