No spark at plugs. Has power to coil - 1987 Honda Civic

    The igniter may need testing also. Go to Easy Auto Diagnostics under Hondas and it shows step by step with photos the diagnostic process for testing this system. If you have power to the coil it still may not be receiving a switching command from the igniter module in the distributor.

By power to coil do you mean spark comes out of coil tower or only the feed wire to the coil has power ? If only the feed wire has power the coil may be bad. Which engine do you have ?

    The igniter may be bad in the distributor or have a bad connection.

Can I please see a diagram of spark plug leads attached to the coil pack

Here is a diagram showing the spark plug leads attached to a coil pack:

Ignition coil
Spark plug lead
Spark plug
In this diagram, the ignition coil is at the center and is connected to the spark plug leads, which are in turn connected to the spark plugs. The spark plugs are located at the end of each spark plug lead and are responsible for igniting the fuel in the engine's cylinders.

In a typical engine, there will be one ignition coil for each cylinder, and the spark plugs will be connected to the ignition coils through the spark plug leads. The ignition coil generates a high voltage electrical current, which is transmitted through the spark plug leads to the spark plugs. The spark plugs then use this electrical current to create a spark, which ignites the fuel in the engine's cylinders and powers the vehicle.

I am driving a Nissan Np200 2012 Model, 16V. The car has no power and diagnosis could not detect the problem. Number 2 & 3 plugs does not spark. What could be the exact problem?

The spark plugs that are not sparking will be the most likely reason for the loss of power. You will need to find out why they are not sparking.
Start from the spark plugs. Check the condition and age of the spark plugs. If in doubt replace them all. Do the same for the plug leads attached to the plugs. Next you will have to check the igniton coils. On you vehicle i think the plug leads and ignition coils are all one piece. Get a good mechanic or an auto electrician to test the coils to make sure they are working correctly..

Ford 3.0 no power to coil

The PCM doesn't supply power to the coil's ,it supply's a ground . A fuse supply's B+ power to the coil's . Your vehicle has what is called coil on plug ignition system , a coil for each cylinder . Should have plug wires ,has a spark plug boot . IT is common for these coil on plug system's to fry the driver (transistor) inside the PCM ,if the spark plug gap becomes so worn that the spark can not jump said gap. It shorts inside the coil sending high voltage to the PCM driver . There are video's on youtube showing how to test a PCM driver circuit . Your coil has two wires , one should have B+ voltage an the other goes to the PCM . If your coil fried i look for a short to ground on the control side circuit . This video is for a ford 5.4 l V-8 coil on plug system ,same thing just 2 more coils .
Ford 5 4 shorted coil primary winding and bad computer driver

I GOT NO FIRE ON THE PLUGS

The spark gets power to spark from coil packs.If the connection between coil pack to spark plug is weak or loose then it will not fire.But if the coil pack as well as the connection between coil pack to spark plugs checked ok then its faulty or dirty spark plugs.Clean the spark plugs with the carb cleaner liquid and let it completely dry.Then check.Also check the voltage between coil pack to spark plugs.If both checked out ok then the other possibility can be weak crank shaft sensor. Thanks.Helpmech.

No spark runns fine then loses spark wait 10 minutes starts

The spark plugs receives power to spark from coil pack.Check the power at the coil pack and also check the voltage at the coil pack with meter.If the coil pack shows proper power as well as voltage then its fault in spark plugs.Otherwise its faulty coil pack.The coil pack receives power from battery.so also check the voltage of the battery it should be exact 12 volt.
If the battery shows low voltage then the battery needs to be re-charged.
Then check out.
Thanks. you can rate this solution and show your appreciation.
