After my car was sitting all winter and I relocated the starter relay and wiring inside the fender my car is not getting spark!! and I have no idea why. I have a Crane HI-6R ign box and when the key is turned to power the red indicator ligh comes on and stays solid (even when cranking... it should be blinking).....

my question is.... there is a red/green wire and green/yellow wire... these are the wires that plugged into the original coil. With the key on the red/green wire has constant power..... when the key is turned and the engine cranks should the green/yellow wire be giving a signall(power?)..... cause its not and the solid red indiacator light on the ign box means its not recieving a trigger signal-

any help would be great!!!!


Also I have a Aeromotive fuel system with the 1000 pump... the relay is also not working and the fuel pump is not cycling..... could this all be related?

Ditch the ignition box for right now and connect the wiring like it would be stock. That will reduce the number of rabbits you need to chase to fix the problem. Once you have it working OK with the stock wiring setup, then re-connect the ignition box.

The red/lt green wire is power from the ignition coil. The dark green/yellow wire is the TFI wire to fire the coil. The TFI switches the yellow wire to ground to make the spark under computer control.



See http://www.autozone.com/servlet/UiB..._us/0900823d/80/19/59/5a/0900823d8019595a.jsp for more wiring diagrams for your car.

Click to expand...

The yellow/tan wire should have a constant 12volts with the key in the on position. Take the coil out and do an ohms test from the positive side to the negative side, it should be zero. If it is zero, it more than likely isn't your coil. Take the TFI module to AutoZone and have it tested. It could also be the pick-up coil (PIP) located inside of the distributor. I just had the exact same problem and it turned out to be the connection on the ground wire going into the coil. How many volts is the yellow/tan wire going to the coil pulling?
