Power to coil, but no power FROM coil - why? 200

posted by  someone claiming to be !amazon68 on  Mon Aug 26 21:34 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Trying to diagnose a no-start problem with an '86 240. Car died after a long drive and refuses to re-start. Cranks, but will not turn over. Multimeter indicates that the coil is receiving power when its + lead is touched to + lead on coil and its - lead to earth (block). However, touching the coil-distributor wire to the engine block whilst cranking does not produce sparking. Same results with two different coils (at least one is "known good").

Does the coil need to receive a signal from the computer in order to "fire"?

Thanks.
