Ok...So the monster is together...In...Turned over. I have fuel...But as far as I can tell, no spark. Pulled #1 plug wire and put a plug in. No spark. Put another wire on the coil with a plug. Again no spark. Im getting fuel to the rail (under pressure but nothing to the return) and I can smell it. But I cant get anything from the coil. What could be causing this?
My list to check tomorrow includes:
ECU connection (check)
ECU ground (check)
Coil power
Coil
#30 Relay (saw somethin bout it in the search...Anyone???)
Check the fuel pump for longer than 2 sec run for hall sender signal(Search) (check)
I stripped and rewrapped the entire harness while the motor was out and searched for brittle or broken wires and connectors and replaced them with new connectors/wire via soldering iron. So I kinda doubt its a bad wire. My question is...There is one ground coming out of the harness along with the tach signal wire (green one) Is this a ground for the coil? Or where would the coil ground lead? And something else I came accross...Coil is black wire to hot side red to ground correct???
Help me out guys...Im hertin for a drive rite now

Re: Ok...Im in serious need of the brain trust. I have no spark!!! (jwatts)

No dice...ECU relay is good. Pulled it appart. Coil Ohmed to 1 ohm (spec is .5-.8 so Id say its close enuff). New dizzy did nothing (off of running car) Compared wiring to another STOCK corrado. Everything jived. ECU is plugged in...Now tell me wut the problem could be.

IT WAS FUEL!!! Went thru EVERY test in the bentley...Decided I wanted to see something (since I didnt see any fuel in the return line)...Injectors click...But theres no fuel in the rail AT ALL. Gets to the FPR but not past it so Ima go see wut the deal is. But on the upside I didnt ufk up the wiring Hahaa. Dam that makes me feel ALOT better. Anyone got any clues??? BTW...Its a 1.8T rail so it aint quite the same...But the theory is
