My onan 4.0 grenerator motor will not idle and it is back fireing while trying to run is in the valves
If it is backfiring even during idle, there are a couple of possible issues. Check the obvious and least expensive first. Make sure you have correct OEM spark plugs, check ignition wires. Then check the ignition coil and trigger module, there is a procedure for doing that in the Cummins Onan manual. A manual can be obtained from http://www.advanced-power-technologies.com/ or local Onan RV dealer. This will give you the ignition coil resistance and the ignition module resistance. Also has anyone messed around with the carb, or has it sat for long periods, too lean a fuel mixture can cause backfiring. Good Luck ;)

Onan 4000 generator has no spark
If there is no spark, the ignition module may be bad, or the wiring to it. Have the module ohmed out. Also the magnetic trigger assembley that is on the rotor that sweeps past the ignition module maybe broken. If they check ok, suspect the control board

05 Ford Escape, coils #3 & #4 not firing. We've replaced the battery, spark plugs, alternator, coil packs, & pcm. Had pcm reflashed. Garage said it had to be coil packs, but just replaced coil packs 3
Check engine light on ? Code's ? What engine ? 2.3 l 4cylinder or 3.ol v-6 This vehicle has coil on plug ignition system , not coil packs ! a coil per cylinder . If new coils an still has no spark , has no B+ voltage to the coil or the PCM isn't controlling them . Without testing i'd only be guessing as to the problem .If the repair shop you had it to can only say it had to be the coils , I'd find another shop to take it to !

Onan generator service codes
Check the spark plug and the ignition coil for good sparking.

Get the spark plug out, or with another spark plug connected to high voltage cable, outside the motor, the outer part of the plug connected to motor ground and see if spark is present at cranking.

Check your connections, recheck them, start from the battery go all the way through in your testing. Personally it soulds like an issue at the coil not getting fire.

I had the same problem with my 85 cj7 this week, I relpaced the ignition control module, plugs, wires, cap, rotor and the the coil; still had no fire to plugs. the problem turned out to be my distributor, replaced it today and she fired right up. Most likely it was the pick up module in the distributor that went bad.
