Hello I have a serious problem that has been keeping me from driving my 83 280ZX turbo for more then a month I am not getting spark to my distributor. I have replaced the Coil, Distributor, and computer and nothing has solved my problem engine turns over good just no fire If any one could help it would be greatly appreciated.

 

When you replaced your distributor, did you replace the ignition module on the side as well?

 

Yes it was replaced. But prior to the incident right before I lost all spark the car would kind of fire and then stop and I let it sit for a day or two and it started and then died about 45 seconds after ignition and then never started again please if any one has a idea on this please reply.

 

If I were you I would start at the battery, make sure that the starter is getting juice. Then make sure that you are getting juice to the coil. Even though the coil is new, it may not be getting juice. Check the fuseable links, check the fuses. If the coil is getting juice then take a sparkplug wire and see if it will arc on the block. Just start at the battery and make sure there is juice starting from there and then follow the current to where is should be going. Maybe the car isn't grounded.

 

maybe the wire from the battery to the coil is fried somewhere. I would replace that wire and see what happens. You ard the sparkplug wire by holding it next to the block and then try to start the car. you should see it arc if there is spark
