@#&*!!!! Ignitor!!!

Featured Replies

I did a search and there was just too much to go through. The ignitor went bad on the 87.5 (along with several other things that have been replaced) and I want to know where to get a new one or if it can be bypassed. This 'new' car is beginning to p*ss me off !!!:Flame:

what do you mean Ignitor? do you mean coil or something in ign. system. i dont think the EA82 has an ignitor like many other import cars.

 

if i know what you need i probably have one you can have for cheep...

The ignitor is a little transistor that is attached to the coil bracket. The ECU sends the signal to it/ through it to fire the coil. I've done the cleaning routine with no change. I drove it back from Olympia before I tore it down for head work and rings. No it runs for about 10 min and dies or dies immediately if you rev it up. When it dies, I have no spark and the trigger line for the coil glows dim (with test light) with no pulses. When running it is bright and pulses. Usually when a transistor goes into cascade failure, this is how it acts. I saw in one of the threads, that someone had used a late 70's GM igntion module to replace it. I'll have to go check schematics, but it should be possible and not too hard. If I can find one new, I'd like to go that route, or some kind of bypass.
