Hi Volks In my attemp to fix my starting problem I have changed my distributor with a new Hall sender . After that, my van started like a champ after a rest of one week. I let the engine idle for maybe 2 minutes. Disconnect the coil wire on the distributor to see if the tachometer was moving when cranking ( I was just curious). Reconnect the coil wire and no way, my van didn't want to start anymore. I suspect the coil now. I disconnected the coil wire on the distributor and while the engine was cranking, I didn't see any spark coming out the coil wire except just before the ignition key was turn off (no spark while cranking). Any idea what could be wrong? I did many and I had the same result with sometime no spark at all. Thank you Germain |
