I have only a spark from the coil when the key is turned to the start position. As the engine turns over, no more spark. For this problem I have replaced the ballast resistor and the control box.
Any ideas??
Sounds like the pickup coil in the distributor or it's circuit to the ignition module,(control box), is your problem. If you've got an ohm meter you can check it by connecting the ohm meter leads to the two, disconnected, wires attached to it. Should be 150-900 ohms resistance.
On a Dodge this symtom has almost always been the ballast resistor problem or wire from there to coil. To test put 12v to plus side of coil and see if that cures it, if it does go back to ballast and recheck it and the wiring. The engine won't shut off until the 12v is removed. |
