ET wont start and no spark from from coil

hey as mentioned i have tried all the usual stuff like tryn to get a spark from the coil lead on some steel but nothing , it tries to turn over but it just wont any ideas other than the obvious ,(DEAD coil, capacitor , transistor)
thanx from Dan

Hey having same issues!!
Just re-wired my ET with the LT10 already installed and now it won't turn over. It sparks from coil one on ignition. But not when cranking!! I have 12v running to the 1st coil from the ecu.

Good crank but no spark! Is it the dizzy/CAS???

Sparks ok during self test. Bloody frustrating!!!

Where does the tacho wire link up to? Having been reading that possibly the dizzy? or just on the accessories harness? Now I know why my tacho hasn't been working.

Might be the transistor that sits next to the coil...

Oh, you said that. Could it be a dodgy connector maybe?

if the transistor isnt earthed to the body properly it wont spark either

I'm having the same dramas now. Did this get sorted out?

If i remember correctly we swapped the transistor. that was iit wasnt it Dan??

is the comp used???????

Has the transistor got power and earth? use the wiring diagrams and a multimeter to work it out.

Are the injectors firing? If u don't know, then use the multimeter to check them too.

If neither injectors or coil are firing then look at power supplies and the computer. Once again with the wiring diagrams.

the car runs fine now, it was the leads(in the blue one) , they were in the wrong firing order lol... the guy i bought the car from didnt connect them to the right plug thus resulting in incorrect firing order... and yes Dexi we did change it and it worked , ..although now my silver et it wont start soome times , i think the solenoid is fucked, cause every now and then it just wont start so i arc it out with a screw driver and BAM!! it goes... f*%kn ET'S

Usually high resistance in the key (starter) circuit is the culprit.

Fit a relay (+ive side pull-in) to isolate the stock wiring and pull the starter in and I can almost guarantee your dramas will go away.
