It is hard to scratch your head when you wear a hat.

My wife’s 83’ (white distributor cap) Volvo 240 DL is driving

me crazy. It has no spark. I replaced the hall sensor and it

ran perfect for 4o minutes then nothing.

Fearing that I cooked the Hall sensor, (expensive little buggers!)

I re-wired the connection to the sensor from the ignition module.

I replaced the ignition module with one from a wrecking yard.

Replaced the new rotor with another

of course, a new hall sensor

new coil

checked all the new wiring

and still no spark.

the connection between the negative side of the coil and

pin number one of the ignition module is there.

Questions...

The brown wire goes to the + side of the coil, right?

With the ignition on I get 12 volts on 1 & 15 of the

coil. Is this right?

I am running, (no pun intended) out of things to

check. Could it be the starting switch in the car?

The knock sensor was replaced less than a year ago, I recently

replaced the plugs, wires, distributor cap and rotor. The throttle

switch clicks….What’s left?

I am seriously beginning to believe in luck. My wife borrowed a

friends Honda and it mysteriously ceased running last night.

Thank God for my motorcycle, (air cooled), my gunmetal

240 DL Volvo that works and the Brickboard members.
