2alaskasubee Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Please help, someone somewhere must have had this problem. I have an 85 brat (ea-81, dr4wd, hitachi carb and dist. without a/c). I had the swinging tach problem, so I pulled a dist out of a parts car and threw it in the brat (same motor,same dist). Now, I have no spark=====>WHAT DID I MISS. I do have power to th coil, and correct resistance. I have verified all fuses and fusible links. Any help will be appreciated. thanks, Ross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subaru_Mechanic Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 i just had this problem! check your fuse under the dash. replace it anyways. is ur ignition turned on while trying to start the car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry DeMoss Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Did you get the timing marks lined up properly when you put in the new disty? I would also take the cap off and see if the rotor turns when it is cranked over.That would be where I would start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naru Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Parts car had a bad ignition module.You should be able to make 1 good disty out of your 2 bad ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2alaskasubee Posted January 19, 2007 Author Share Posted January 19, 2007 well, I AM STUPID!!!! I hooked the dist. leads up wrong. When they are hooked up correctly, I have spark. Now, I just have to dial in the timing. Thanks for your help!!!! Now let's play in the snow:banana: Ross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
