ran, died, no fuel or spark

Had it running, but it quit and doesn't seem to get fuel or fire. All fuses fine, fusible links ok. The coils we tried wouldn't spark and the fuel pump doesn't pump. Cheched the filters too. It's an '87 Hatch std, with my JDM EA71 outta my wagon. We're stumped and we gotta get this car going. We're down in Vancouver, WA, gotta drive it up to Everett.

BTW, it was running fine and just quit and wouldn't fire back up. Guess I'm gonna skip work tomorrow.

The coil is hot on the postive post, but not on the negative post..... any advice would be nice, this is a real PITA.... Don't wanna towstrap 250 miles.

CHeck the "revolution sensor" It is a small relay lookin box with a "mitsubishi" 3 diamond logo on it. Held on by th ebolts holding the hood release or real close. If has to sense a pulse from the coil or else the fuel pump will not run. It also powers the auto choke and the Anti Dieseling solenoid, so if it isn't working the car won't run. Just a guess. If you've got a diagram of that thing you can bypass it.

The hatch does not have a revo sensor. Its an ea81. Pita is pain in the a$$

I had to replace one in an 84 EA81. I don't know about 87 but I am sure Carbed EA81's had them at least until 84.

Where would I find the ignition control module? Nevermind, found it.
