Just bought a 88 carbed justy. It started when it was cold and bogged quite abit. The check engine light is on. Once it heated up, it died and wont restart. Seems to be getting fuel.I used a spark tester and although it has 11 volts to the coil it doesnt make a spark. I replaced the coil with a known good one and still nothing. Now what?

 

Thanks

YAY A JUSTY!

 

Pull the cap, is it nice and dry, does the rotor spin freely (bad thing). Is the timing belt in good condition (easy to replace).

Get yourself a factory manual. These are easy cars to work on.

i love justy's, ive only seen one on the road ever, a red one, i like them but not to the point where ill buy one since they look so similar to the ford fiesta, wish it was a bit uniquer but still its a subaru, fix it and let us know!

11 volts is not very good.

 

Here is a diagram http://subarujusty.proboards.com/thread/3632/1990-ignition-problem-solved

 

Check fuse #1.

It is probably the ignition control unit though.

Punched the ignition controller and the car started up. Gonna buy a new one! thanks guys!

yay! another justy still on the road, keep it alive! your one of the few subarus that can say i don't have a boxer engine lol.
