dale47 Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 I posted a thread about my 96 legacy not starting a couple weeks ago. This morning it was the same thing again.crank..crank..crank. The last time it happened I removed a plug wire from the coil pack and plugged in a sperate test wire to see if I was getting any spark. The car fired right up !!. This morning after not starting for 15 minutes, I popped the hood, disconnected the same plug wire from the coil pack and I'll be damned if it didn't fire right up. I shut the car off..reconnected the wire and it's been running fine all day. Anybody have any idea whats going on here. Its a 2.5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_DuB Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 Sounds like you need a new plug wire:drunk: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dale47 Posted March 11, 2005 Author Share Posted March 11, 2005 If the plug wire was bad, wouldn't it miss-fire ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 You may have an intermittant connection at the coil pack. I doubt that one plug wire is bad and you just happened on it. The problem may be internal to the coil also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dale47 Posted March 11, 2005 Author Share Posted March 11, 2005 Does anyone think I may be tricking the crank sensor. By diconnecting the plug wire it see's an open cylinder ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
