@somick @DaveT @el_freddo Hey guys, I’m having trouble finding the exact ecu for my car? It’s probably my ignorance, but does it have to match serial numbers exactly? Or can I get one off eBay for the same year but with a slightly different serial number? Thank you for the help

@somick @DaveT had a buddy come over who knows wiring a little better. Traced it back to a bad ecu. There wasn’t power getting to the ignitor or coil from the ecu. Also noticed that the check engine light wasn’t coming on at all when I turned the key on. Took the ecu apart and found 3-4 diodes burn up, run a jump wire between one of the bigger diodes near pin 27 and the check engine light flashed on. I will be ordering a replacement soon and posting the (hopefully successful) update. Thank you guys!

@el_freddo Spfi , and yes timing belts are fine no teeth stripped, button in the disty spins fine. And it’s getting plenty of fuel pressure and fuel to the injector. It’s not getting spark from the coil. Thank you for the quick replies !

@somick I believe I installed it correctly, if you mean marking the button where it’s pointing and marking the ears so it’s in time. And as far as the wires I’ll be replacing it with four new wires tomorrow and seeing if that’s the problem. Thank you for the reply

My 91 loyale (ea82) isn’t getting spark from the coil. It’s a new coil, new disty, I’ve replaced the ignitor and the bracket it’s attached to, checked my grounds. I have Frayed wires in my harness tho that I wrapped awhile back could this be the reason for no spark? If so could someone please tell me where this wire goes and if I could just re run 4 new wires in its place ?
