 |
|
| we just replaced the 1600cc type 2 engine in the 1971 bus. the starter turns fine,but the engine wont fire. i have fire to the coil,but none from the coil. i replaced the coil and still got no fire.... i believe the electronic ignition leads could have been swapped on the coil(black on positive and red on negative). i just dont see why it would still turn over if i fried the electronic ignition. im looking for any help or suggestions |

Stupid question. Did you put the rotor back in?
If you hooked it up backward. It may have fried the Module.

| everything is in place as it should be and the distributor wires are on tight. if the electronic ignition is fried,would it block or suppress power from the coil? |

Yes it would. Run the test in the picture, to test the module.
Good Luck |

Frying the electronic ignition module won't have any effect on the starting system which cranks the engine. These are independent systems.

You have 12.3 volts where?
#15 positive side of the coil?
Do you have a set of points and condenser that you can install? |
