    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Where do these wires go?

When I have the car battery connected it doesn't drop much at all and has a strong crank.

So I connected the neg probe to neg battery and pos probe in the b/y at the ignitor and cranked and without cranking I showed 11.2v, with cranking it was 9v. The b/w wire without cranking it showed 0.1v, cranking is 0.5v. (Keep in mind I did not have the car battery connected so the volts will be lower)

I did noticed when I moved the second connector on the ignitor (blue and green wire connector) the #1 and #4 plugs were sparking just with me moving the plug around.

Now you aid to make sure the ignitor has a ground, but it doesn't and never has and I had good sparks the last few days until now.

I have no idea what's going on now besides it looks like I at least need a new battery, but it doesn't seem to explain the spark.

when you jiggle a connector and something changes, do you think that means the tires are low on Air?

Clean the connectors. :eek:
 
I did break out my air gauge for a minute. :) I figured cleaning the connectors was going to be the next step, but I was just curious if the blue and green wires controlled both coils why only the one was sparking.

When you say ground the ignitor do you mean from one of the mounting bolts to frame?

If there is something wrong with the connector fix it. There should be a ground wire b/w in the harness make sure it is earthed. after that. If it is not modulating the coils it is broke.
