THis would be my first time posting on this z forum, been over at zcar awhile. So Hi guys=)

UPDATED

SO i have power to fuel pump and it does it's thing for 5 seconds when the key is turned to run. I have power to ignition switch. The starter has power and turns the motor properly, and my noid light shows signal to injectors.
Im good to go except spark.

The coil gets power, but it shows power to both + and - and power won't come out the coil's snout. And obviously power is not present at the dizzy much less the spark plugs.

I have both the B/W wire from my NA harness and the B/W from my ignitor going to the + on the coil
I have both the BLUE NA wire and BLUE ignitor wires going to the - on the coil.


Alright i have an idea i want to run by you guys: (This is not a pic of my engine bay)

I was thinking this little plug that goes to the ignitor is the key to why i am not getting a signal from the coil to the dizzy. I think i have this plug in my car, i just don't think it is plugged into anything. because i have one of these 300zx ignitors

and i can't put that plug directly into it. SO i have mine hangin around loose and don't know if i should do something with itcan you guys make sense of this? Ideas?
82 zx -> zxt swap
i have an 82 zxt motor with all 82 zxt components (ignitor is 300zxt)

im assuming this is a turbo car then? well the ignition module could be out or the coil, if there is power to the clip for the ignitor then test the posts on the coil to see if theres power coming off the ignitor, if there is, and your sure there is not spark coming from the coil, then change teh coil, might as well change the coild anyways. if that doesnt fix it, and there is still no spark, then change teh uber expensive ignito (130 bucks i think). sounds like its all hooked up right.

Is your coil and bracket grounded? You won't get any spark if it's not grounded.

I ran a bolt up the inside of the bracket to make it hold the coil in securely. My coil is too small for the bracket. Also ran a wire from the bracket to a chassis bolt for now to make the ground.

i should read power on BOTH posts of the coil??
mikez was right, you guys are more helpful here than on zcar.com

Re-check that ground... also, post a close up pic of the coil area so we can see what's up.

PS... Zcar is cool... they are just grumpy.

Z have bad grounding issues... could be your problem...
