Well the car decided to leave me stranded on Hwy 96 today. I was sitting there waiting to make a right turn, just idling, and it shut off on me.
Huge thanks to Nick (munchgsx) for coming and towing her home for me.
Car is turning over great, sounds like it has heathy compression, but won't fire up. Won't even come close to firing up, just cranks and cranks. My first thought was it wasn't getting fuel. So while sitting on the shoulder, I checked the ignition and MPI fuses. Both checked out good. I turned the fuel pump on via DSMLink, checked the fuel pressure and it was good, and I could feel the fuel running through the lines. So there went that theory. Got her towed home, and decided to check if I was getting spark. Kinda hard to do with just me and no helper. I unplugged the wires from the plugs, and set them right next to grounded parts of the car, figuring that when I cranked it over, if I have spark I'd hear some arcing. Well, I didn't hear a damn thing. So right now, it's looking like I lost my spark, somehow... I'll have to find someone to help me to verify that though. I'm thinking somehow either my coilpack or transistor died. Which might go hand in hand with my intermittent missfiring I was running into.
Put up a WTB add, so if anyone has a transistor, or coil pack, that I can borrow to see if it fixes the issue. please let me know ASAP!!!!!
See if you when you spin the Cas sensor you trigger the coils.
