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
