no spark, tried just about everything....

just pulled my vortech off of my cobra and the msd and the injectors and the maf.

put it all back together with a stock maf, no msd and no vortech and i am getting NO spark

fuel pressure sits at 30Psi

i already swapped the dizzy
the tfi
the coil
the ecm
the ccrm

i just drove this bitch home a few days ago because it was sitting at my dealership. i have run out of easy stuff. there use to be an aftermarket alarm on the car but would think if that was the problem i wouldnt have the car cranking. i guess i could haved a ground that is bad somewhere, buy i have no clue. im far from a skilled wrencher, anyone have something else i oculd have screwed up. i have everything plugged in/... good thing i had my 95 gt. i swapped the tfi, dizzy and ccrm onto that from the cobra and it started up fine(save for some screwed up timing that was easily corrected)

the one thing is when i tood the msd off i may have had the polarity switched on the two wires going to the coil. they are definitely correct now, could they have hurt something the first time i attempted to crank?

i had the cobra parked at the dealership because i didnt have a garage before. i bought the gt because i was going to sell the cobra and build it up but the guy i was going to sell the cobra to had to use the money for a lawyer(trying to get custody of his son). so i decided to just sell the gt since i already have a good amount done to the cobra. i dont really like how the vortech makes power so i am goin to go h/c/i right now and build a stroker motor. i have a set of edelbrocks, systemax intake, longtubes all sitting in the garage. just need to match up a good cam to it and pick up a bigger tb

Put a test light across the two wires going to the coil. WHile cranking the test light should flash really fast (like a pulsar star). Does it?

that was what i was going to do next but i jjust moved in here, so i couldnt find my light. i am working all weekend and then my gf birthday is sunday so i wont have any time to work on it until monday afternoon. hopefully i will get it by then.

any other fuses besides the engine panel and uderdash panel? any relays that would do this?

i have all the schematics. all you have to do is google tmoss(thanks)

bahhhh, i was looking at the fox body schematic and missed that the #18 fuse in the car was for the ignition amongst other things. i pulled it and it was bad, my guess is from the coil wires being reversed. anyway it cranks right up.

i had pulled it apart since my friend/mechanic put it back together like crap a while ago and i decided to park it until i could work on it myself. well it was tapping like a mofo on the driver's side and i pulled the valve cover , i pulled it and had 5 loose rockers. tightened them up and i still have a tick. its seemed to go away after i let it idle here for a little while, hopefully its just a lifter since i left the car sitting for 7 months. i'll work on that wed
