calebz Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 Its not a neutral safety switch.. Don't think yours has it.. Are you getting power to the coil?.. To the dist? I know E82S have that silly little screw that comes out, causing the rotor to not turn with the disty.. do EA81s also have that ? something to check into Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHATBRAT Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 When you replaced the disty cap did you replace the rotor as well? Also, are the wires hooked up (The ones connected to the disty?) Did it ever run since you have had it? Does it crank? Make sure the coil wires are connected and correct. Is there any cracks in the wires themselves? Look real hard after you ensure that everything is hooked up and hooked up correctly. Sounds like something stupid. This should get you started.

GLCraig Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 Have you checked to see if the distributor turns when the engine cranks over? I'm guessing that you have a broken timing belt. If the belt on the drivers side is broken, the distributor will not turn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnW Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 No timing belt. No screw to hold the rotor on. My guess is the ign module in the distributor especially if its a Nippondenso Disty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
