After nine years of ownership my car began to run like crap, Felt like if it was running on 7 cylinders. Popped the hood (at night)and noticed most of the ignition wires were "leaking" current at the boots. So I thought that was the reason for the crappy performance. The next morning I was going to drive my car to work so I could replaced the wires and my car failed to start completely! The engine would just crank and crank. So I rode my bike to work and grabbed all my diagnostic testers.
Tested: Battery- pass
fuel pressure-pass
pump relay pass
pump cut off switch- pass
tp sensor- pass
*ignition at coil- pass
ignition at plugs-pass
spark plugs
tfi module-pass
stator-pass
timing
Yes everything passed (so i thought)! What had failed was that the ignition coil WAS putting a very weak jolt! My spark tester picked up the spark but the spark during my test but was not enough to fire the engine up.
The coil was quickly dying as I drove it the night before causing power loss and finally died that night.
Anyway just wanted to share this with you all. Hopefully it will help someone diagnos their no start issues one day.
MSD Blaster coil and MSD ignition wires on order now!
