The starter motor is turning the engine but there's no spark it is an electrical problem you see my car hasn't been started in 4 years because it needed a new engine and when I finally got a new one and replaced the old one it wouldn't start. Here are the symptoms:
-No spark coming out from the coil. I check the terminals to see if they are live and it seems like they are. A spark appears when I ground terminal 1 of the coil and the fuel pump turns on too.
-The dash warning lights don't turn on only the oil, OD, and parking lights turn on when starting the engine.
-The tachometer runs wildly some times
-When the battery is high and I start the engine the fuel pump doesn't turn on even with no fuel pressure and when the battery is low and the starter stops turning the engine I leave the key in starting mode and when I turn it to run mode the fuel pump turns on
-When the key is turned to on mode the idle speed valve starts vibrating. Is it suppose to do that?
-It wont start when I put it in neutral
I checked the fuses and they are not broken or melted. I think maybe the problem is the ECU or the impulse sender but I don't know how to check that and I don't know of anyone who has another 1982 240 only a 1983 and there isn't an Auto Zone over here.
I looked for a mechanic who is experienced in Volvos but he never comes. if you know any tips or some one who might help you figure out what my problem is I would greatly appreciate it. Ill send you more info if you need it as soon as possible. Thanks
Darwin.
