Did it ever run? Do you have power to your coil packs? Do you have power to your CAS? typically ignitors just don’t die. ---

yeah it ran good. he burned the clutch up and parked it he did replace the starter in it before the clutch went out. we just checked 1 coil pack and there was no spark i searched a few forums and it sounded like the ignitor chip was a common problem ---

again I ask the same questions… Do you have 12v to the coilpacks? Don’t respond that you don’t have spark… That tells me nothing. Do you have 12v to the CAS? ---

I have some Q45 ignitors and a Z32 ignitor if that happens to be the problem. PM me for a price. ---

i just went and checked them for power using a test light with the ignition in the on position and they had power ---

the ignitor chip is what tells the ECU to send power to the coil. So I don’t think it is an ignitor chip. If you have 12v to the coils, cas, and injectors there should be no problem starting that car as long as it is in time still… So it just cranks and does not start? ---

yeah check to make sure you are getting 12v at your injector. do you hear the fuel pump prime when you turn the key to on? It would probably be wise to start going through the FSM ---
