Maybe. Is there power at the coil with the key on? Take the connector off and use a test light to see if there is power at one of the connector terminals. please let me know if you have more questions.

What could be the cause of no spark on my uno mia 1.1 99 or 00 model

Have you replaced the spark plugs and checked the leads,have you got enough fuel?

No spark coming out of coil

Bad coil or bad input to the coil which comes from the ignition system. Maybe bad points or capacitor in an older system, if it uses points vs. all electronic. If all electronic maybe a bad module.

No spark from new coil

Sounds like the problem lies in the profile Ignition Pickup (PIP) i.e Crank Sensor or in the Ignition Control Module (ICM), once the ICM gets the PIP signal, it starts to switch the Ignition Coil on, Once the Ignition Coil gets this switching signal, it starts to Spark away, I think you are not getting signal from PIP to ICM to get spark. I did a quick search online and if you do need to replace your Ignition Control Module this site looks like it has cheap prices, free shipping and great reviews http://www.buyautoparts.com/ignition-control-module.html

91 civic dx no spark. Checked fuses, all good. Checked ECU (Replaced). Checked coil, ohmed good. Checked ignitor, via parts store 8x, all passed. Checked continuity ECU->Distributor, good. Checked main...

How About the CPS Crank Shaft positioning sensor? otherwise Sounds Like( Im Not Sure what you are saying you replaced the ECM) Electronic Control Module) ? Or Electronic Control Unit? Otherwise Checking to make sure you have a good ground from the battery to the motor to firewall as well,also im pretty sure there is a switch in your fuse box for the ignition and fuel pump last but not least coil could be bad even though you have ohms and how many ohms?(ps you said you forced spark thru hooking strait up to positive you got little Spark when you did that? if you did sounds like ground or low voltage or Bad Coil !! have you hooked up and tried to pull a code ? I hope this helps!!

No spark 2 coil &distributer

Do you mean no spark from the coil or distributor? Because the coil needs battery voltage to it to operate.
If you have no spark from the coil wire and you believe the wire is good or you have no reason to suspect it failing in a very short time, then before you do anything else, you should check if the small, pink wire to the little + side of the coil is a live wire (has current or voltage, and the connection is clean and tight) when the key is in on position. If no power there, the ignition switch or the wiring from the switch to the coil is bad.
If you have power to the coil, then either the coil or the electronic ignition module (inside the distributor, I think) may be bad. They can both be tested. Auto parts stores will test the ignition module for free. There are other possibilities for no spark, like a computer fault, or a bad pick-up coil, or a wiring or grounding fault, but for starters test the coil or swap in a known good one. If not the coil, check the ignition module next.
Good luck. Don't see many of those cars on the road anymore. Hope you keep it running.

Timing the cams and crank with a belt

  1. Note: Electronic Ignition engine timing is entirely controlled by the PCM. Electronic Ignition engine timing is NOT adjustable. Do not attempt to check base timing. You will receive false readings.

The CKP sensor is used to indicate crankshaft position and speed by sensing a missing tooth on a pulse wheel mounted to the crankshaft. The CMP sensor is used by the COP Integrated EI System to identify top dead center of compression of cylinder 1 to synchronize the firing of the individual coils.
  1. The PCM uses the CKP signal to calculate a spark target and then fires the coil pack(s) to that target shown in Figure 51. The PCM uses the CMP sensor not shown in Figure 51 on COP Integrated EI Systems to identify top dead center of compression of cylinder 1 to synchronize the firing of the individual coils.
  1. The coils and coil packs receive their signal from the PCM to fire at a calculated spark target. Each coil within the pack fires two spark plugs at the same time. The plugs are paired so that as one fires during the compression stroke the other fires during the exhaust stroke. The next time the coil is fired the situation is reversed. The COP system fires only one spark plug per coil and only on the compression stroke.

    The PCM acts as an electronic switch to ground in the coil primary circuit. When the switch is closed, battery positive voltage (B+) applied to the coil primary circuit builds a magnetic field around the primary coil. When the switch opens, the power is interrupted and the primary field collapses inducing the high voltage in the secondary coil windings and the spark plug is fired. A kickback voltage spike occurs when the primary field collapses. The PCM uses this voltage spike to generate an Ignition Diagnostic Monitor (IDM) signal. IDM communicates information by pulsewidth modulation in the PCM.
  1. The PCM processes the CKP signal and uses it to drive the tachometer as the Clean Tach Out (CTO) signal.

2.5L V6

The ignition system consists of an ignition coil, spark plug wires and spark plugs.
The crankshaft position sensor signal is the basis for ignition timing calculations. The alternating voltage signal from the crankshaft position sensor is digitized by a pulse former within the powertrain control module. This digitized signal is then used to position the closing time of the primary circuit of the ignition coil.
Ignition timing is determined by the powertrain control module in response to engine operating conditions based on stored data tables or maps. Once ignition timing has been determined, the powertrain control module interrupts the current to the primary circuit of the ignition coil thus triggering the ignition spark which is supplied to the cylinders through the spark plug wires and spark plugs.
The ignition coils are triggered by the powertrain control module in pairs (cylinders 1 and 5, cylinders 4 and 3 and cylinders 2 and 6) sending one ignition spark to the firing cylinder and one ignition spark to the corresponding cylinder on the exhaust stroke. This ensures that any unburnt fuel residues remaining in the cylinder on the exhaust stroke are re - ignited to provide cleaner exhaust emissions.

Integrated Electronic Ignition System The Integrated Electronic Ignition (EI) System consists of a crankshaft position (CKP) sensor, coil pack(s), connecting wiring, and PCM. The Coil On Plug (COP) Integrated EI System uses a separate coil for each spark plug and each coil is mounted directly onto the plug. The COP Integrated EI System eliminates the need for spark plug wires but does require input from the camshaft position (CMP) sensor.

1998 jeep cheeroke starter problem

Yes I believe that would fix the problem. It is under the hood mounted in the "power distribution box"


If this by slight chance doesn't work which I do think will work; Then you can try
The HEI system, used on 2.5L, 2.8L and 4.0L engines, is a pulse-triggered, transistorized controlled, inductive discharge ignition system. The entire HEI system (except for the ignition coil on fuel injected engines) is contained within the distributor cap.
The distributor, in addition to housing the mechanical and vacuum advance mechanisms, contains the electronic control module, and the magnetic triggering device. The magnetic pick-up assembly contains a permanent magnet, a pole piece with internal teeth, and a pick-up coil (not to be confused with the ignition coil).
In the HEI system, as in other electronic ignition systems, the breaker points have been replaced with an electronic switch-a transistor-which is located within the control module. This switching transistor performs the same function the points did in an conventional ignition system. It simply turns coil primary current on and off at the correct time. Essentially then, electronic and conventional ignition systems operate on the same principle.
The module which houses the switching transistor is controlled (turned on and off) by a magnetically generated impulse induced in the pick-up coil. When the teeth of the rotating timer align with the teeth of the pole piece, the induced voltage in the pick-up coil signals the electronic module to open the coil primary circuit. The primary current then decreases, and a high voltage is induced in the ignition coil secondary windings which is then directed through the rotor and high voltage leads (spark plug wires) to fire the spark plugs.
In essence then, the pick-up coil modu
