no spark off ignition coil 850 1994

posted by  someone claiming to be Kerry on  Wed Jan 21 18:58 CST 2015 [RELATED]

My wagon will crank but not start. Also no spark from the ignition coil. I have replaced the sparks plugs, wires, distributor, rotor, Cam shaft position censor,crank shaft position censor, ignition coil and battery, I have checked the relays and fuses, they seemed ok but I just looked at them so not 100% sure. I had a 10 amp fuse that would blow every time I tried to start but it was just a warning light fuse and I fixed that. I am still getting voltage to the coil but no spark off of it. What else could cause this?????

    What fault codes do you have? How old is your maf?

      I can't seem to get any fault codes off it. It did have a completely dead battery for a month and wont start, so I think It has erased the codes.
      I have never replaced the MAF censor. I think that will be next.
      Thanks!

        Would the MAF keep it from sparking? There is some sort of relay where two wire harnesses plug into touching the right side of the ABS control module. Could this maybe be the problem. Also been told it might be the overload relay 15+ but I don't know how to check the relays except shake them to see if they make noise.

          The MAF will not keep the engine from starting. The overload relays seldom fail.

          I am still concerned regarding the blown fuse. Which one and why did it fail? But that will not/should not have an effect on spark.

          Is there voltage out of the new coil? Is the coil to cap wire seated securely?

            It was fuse #15 which apply s to Radio,courtesy lamps,door warning lamps, oil level warning,(remote keyless entry). I found out this was blowing because the visor was removed and the wires were touching and shorting out.
            Would it be the ignition control module?

              The 94 doesn't have an ignition control module, it uses the ECU for that. You replaced the CPS, recheck the plug connection as the female end can get corroded. Also make sure the CPS wires don't touch the spark plug wires, use a zip tie if needed.

              I assume that the lead from the coil to the cap has no juice when cranking, so now you also need to check the wires from the CPS to the ECU.

              Is your starter not cranking fast enough? That could be a problem.

                my car wouldnt start with a bad MAF. I replaced it and the car started right up. My car will not start with the MAF unplugged.

    What fuse was it?

    Working bag from the distributor there's the power stage, forward of the drivers side strut mount, make sure the ground is clean and tight.
    And there's the ignition control module to switch everything.

    I'm not sure if a fuel delivery fault would shut down ignition.
    Can you hear the fuel pumps?

      I'm not familiar with power stage. What do I look for to check it? I did remove the air filter assembly to take a look at all the grounds and wires, everything looked ok.
