Ignition help

[badwench]

One is just never to old to learn something. When I bought the new coil for a Neon I also bought the electrical connector.
Well, today I made my mind up to find out for sure what was wrong or put the whole thing up for sale, even if I had to part it out. At some point I was checking the new coil and found what indicated to be a bad coil. Being an electrical part I was sure I could not get a free rep[lacement.
At some point I removed the connector and what do I find--- one signal wire was not seated into the plug, thus not making contact with the pin on the coil. :smilie_happy:

Fixed that and have hot spark to all 4. Need go put plugs in and see how she runs.

More later.

cool like me...i was on my last straw it seemed and i find that a strait piece of wire was the problem ...inside a wireing harnest

make sure your wires go to the right plugs,mine were crossed and i blew the tops off two slides be fore we figured it out. but it was fun...lol

Great news___Started right up, smoke a bit from the extra fuel in the cylinders that were not firing. Cleared up in no time. I went ahead and pulled the plugs again and cleaned them good. arty: :yahoo:

Bad news, think I'm going to sell it. I had plans once I knew it would run ok of taking everything off and doing a complete paint job with original colors.
I had bought and was fixing it for my son-in-law. However he has started haveing major knee problems again and he said he didn't think he would be able to enjoy it.

:thanks: again all for all the help

Congrats on gettin' her running, and condolences on possibly havin' to sell her! It's a shame, but at least it was a good experience for you. Are you not interested in riding her yourself?
