I installed a new motor in my 1995 ford probe se. Motor turns over and is in time. New rotor button, cap, coil, and ignition module. 12 volts going through coil. Power going everywhere, but still no fire! Any suggestions?

    UPDATE! I have spark at the coil and on the plugs now. but still will not start! Timing is dead on at crank and cam gears. New fuel pump is working too! So I have fire and fuel but not starting!

Did you install the crank sensor?

    by no fire you mean spark?

  • dougbender51 Mar 25, 2010

    what about injecter pulse hook a 12 volt light bulb between the 2 terminals from an injecter and crank to see if bulb flashers may be dim.if not check all fuses and check for 12v at injector plug with key on.it will be the wire that has a commen color with the other injectors. if ok then you will have to check coputer grounds and check for continuity from injector plug to computer. if ok then computer bad[rare] try some starting fluid to see if it trys to start that would prove fuel problem if it does nothing then i would suspect timing problem or fouled plugs

No spark at plugs

Do you mean you get spark from coil high tension wire to dizzy cap? If so, the only thing left is the cap and rotor and wires and the engine must have a good ground.

Have a 1992 Ford Probe that cranks but won't turn over. No spark coming from the plugs or dustributor cap. Has a new cap, plug wires, and coil as of a year ago. Spark plug are a bit worn right now. Car use...

See if you have spark coming out of the coil wire first.
If you don't : coil, wire, pick up coil, module or timing chain.
If you do : dist cap, rotor or wires

I have a 1993 chev pick-up v6 4.3, i just installed new spark plugs,new plug wires, distributor cap and rotor button.All plug wires are back in the right position,and i used the firing order 1-6-5-4-3-2...

This diagram is for 1998-1995 Chevy 6 cylinder 4.3L engines.
Your got the firing order exactly correct, at 1-6-5-4-3-2, but here's the thing to double-check:
The distributor rotation is clockwise (note badly rendered arrow in picture).

Since you probably got everything right, then you're left with really unusual/rare causes of
failure of the ignition system:
(a) rotor button misaligned/failing to make contact?
(b) rotor button not pressed onto distributor shaft far enough therefore failing to provide correct
proximity to distributor cap contacts when coil fires
(c) coil wire or contact loose/disconnected - press coil wire firmly down into distributor cap.
(d) distributor shaft of other damage caused during installation of rotor.
(e) spark plug wires defective from factory
(f) spark plugs defective from factory
(g) battery low - may need a charge to start
(h) ICM (ignition control module) failure - hook up your HEI (high energy ignition) tester, and
watch the quality of the spark on each cylinder.
(i) fuel problem? If spark is being properly delivered, its gotta be a fuel problem...
(j) distributor cap not screwed down flush to top of distributor? maybe just on one side?

Inspect the inside of the distributor cap - if there are lots of little metal bits all over the inside
of the distributor cap, then you know you have a misalignment of some type in there, and the
rotor and cap are destroying each other. normal operation will throw a quota of spark-ed off
metal bits inside the distributor cap, but since your cap is brand new, your attempts to start
the engine should have rotated the distributor so few times, you should see no metal debris.

Inspect the distributor cap contacts to see if any spark marks are more of less in the middle
of the cap's proper "contact zone". If not, you've diagnosed an internal misalignment, which
you know how to correct.

take the distributor cap off, and have somebody crank the engine while you watch the rotor, if the rotor isn't turning, then the distributor shaft is broken

Also, if you have not done so, replace distributor cap

Car wont start

do you have spark out of the coil into the cap? if so i would suggest removing the cap and testing for continuity between the center plug (coil input) and the spring loaded button on the inside also check the rotor, if you have no spark from coil at all be sure you have it wired correctly and be sure the coil wire did not get pulled apart in the ends please rate -jeff

I agree, jumped timing. Check to make sure the dist is tight. Than check for tdc on the #1 cylinder. When the #1 cyl is TDC the rotor should be pointing to that wire on the cap. Take the cap off while checking. Also is easier to turn motor by hand without plugs in motor.
