Hi,
This is my first post. looking for a little ignition system help on my 1994 loyale wagon 4wd manual. 296k miles. new motor at 270k second owner vehicle.
so, drove to my girlfriends house for dinner the other night....ran great. came out after dinner, it won't start. tried the old ether trick to see if i had a fuel system problem. turns over, but no spark.
pulled a plug. no spark
started testing parts and now i'm stuck.
fusible links all ok.
timing belt ok.
i have power to my coil, but no spark on the coil wire.
tested a known good coil resistor. not it
tried another known good ignition module/distributor. not it.
do the ecu's go bad in these cars? my local subaru guy says he's never seen a dead ecu.
indicators of bad edu:
no cel w/ ignition on before attempting to start
no trouble codes blinking.
prior to losing spark, i had code 35 for the purge control solenoid, which i replaced with an aftermarket part and the cel stayed on.
ideas? i'm in the dog house with my GF for leaving the little wagon in her driveway.
