86gl10 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 My 1986 Subaru GL-10 4wd has no spark. I did an ohm test on the coil and it seems good. I have voltage at the coil when the key is on. Should i replace the ignition control module/pickup coil in the distributor? I don't know any way to test it. The tach has no reading when i crank the engine.

john in KY Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Make sure you don't have a broken timing belt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Yes - insure that your distributor spins when you crank it over. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Make sure the horn works. Fuse 5 provides power to it along with the CAS in the disty. No power there will kill the ignition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86gl10 Posted September 16, 2011 Author Share Posted September 16, 2011 Thanks a ton. I took the distributor cap off and it did not spin when cranking the engine. Must be the timing belt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadMatt Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 I own an '86 GL with no ignition module in the distrubutor, so I would question that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
