Possibly ignition switch, Power (12 volts) going to distributor goes through ignition switch.If you read voltage on the primary side of the coil, with the ignition key on, can you read 12 volts, maybe a little higher? If not, that's pointing to a problem. Good luck.

Check to see if your truck has a crankshaft position sensor, its usually located behind the harmonic balancer or right near there, if the sensor went bad or if the wiring got messed up there will be no signal to the ecm telling the ecm when to send spark to the coil. the crankshaft position sensor is responsible for telling the computer when to fire the spark plugs based on rpm and timing. check the wires on the crankshaft position sensor, if they look fine, replace the sensor, hope this helps!

    No crankshaft sensor on 91. But there is a spark control module in addition to the ignition module. Could that be something to check?

Is it possible that a bad oil pressure switch would disrupt signals to ignition control module?

  • jeff hoerner

    There's a white wire that runs from ignition control module to ECM ignition control (IC) pin. Is that wire sending power/signal to or from ECM?

No spark

well you didn't say what year it was , keeping that in mind I will try to respond with the info you did give. Generally the Chevy G20 vans have a coil mounted in the distributor itself, so having spark comming from the coil would mean it is not flowing through the rotor to the plug wires..... not sounding right to me either,... Possibly just a bad Distributor cap unless you have already replaced it. So I would have you look at the Ignition module first and the pick up coil second.. not mush else it could be ( ruling out a broken timing chain ) If it is a newer vehicle , it may have a crank position sensor failing or ecm.

1991 mitsubushi montero, EFI. Will not start. When I pulled the wire from the coil out of the top of the distributor and turned the key on to see if there was spark I found it was a continious high...

coil is continuous electric, spark comes out of distributor cap . if you have a timing light hook to wires near plug for spark. no spark look at ignition switch. there is a bleeder valve on fuel rail check for pressure. check ECM fuze.

My car has no spark it has a new crank senor i tested the ecm it passed so what could it be

it is mounted on the side of the ignition distributor body, here is a picture, u should also change the Stator inside the distributor, this requires you remove the distributor from the engine and then drive out the roll pin that holds the drive gear on, this is not for the do it yourself-er

1991 chevy 4x4 2500, we changed the distributor,

Timing chain and gears may need replacing. Is the timing correct? Like number 1 at top of compression stroke and the dist. is on 1. How about a new coil too. Try a coil first. They go bad on these a lot.
