Re: No Fire

After 3 hours of test probing today here are my results. 12v on ignition. I have a single position ignition switch and I have a s position toggle switch with ign and start on both one in main cabin on on flybridge. Flybridge is totally disconnected currently. I have 12v into key switch and 12v out. ...

Re: No Fire

And speaking of If I ever get it started the cooling issue. Right now I am just trying to get it to try and start. At that point there is a system here that may work. The PO had a 5 gallon bucket with a ball valve tapped into the side about 4 inches from the bottom and a long hose coming off the val...

Re: No Fire

Ed, thanks for that walkthrough. I did jump the coil+ straight from the battery last week and had good spark. Enough that I was still cranking and my dad started to pull away with the sparkplug and short pliers he had holding it and it jumped up and bit him. I see something a little strange in my wi...

Re: No Fire

Ed, I'm getting their slowly on understand all of this stuff. New ECU hasn't helped anything so now looking elsewhere. I found a Mopar car forum that someone made a post about checking the +side of the ballast resistor with a probe attached to it and the other attached to the battery +. It mentioned...

Re: No Fire

I found some notes that I took over the weekend checking wiring etc I had misplaced them until just now. On the main wiring socket that goes to the module I found a diagram and guide that said I should have 12v at pin#1 which I do. Then I should have 12v at pin #2 which I have 0 volts at. I tried tr...

Re: No Fire

Bill, when I jumper as you mention I get spark from the plug I have removed. Then and only then. I am waiting on a ignition control module as Jeff mentioned. I can't find a diagram to see where that is inline on the ignition wiring but I am still looking.

Re: No Fire

I had time to sneak over to the boat for a few minutes today and took some additional readings. 12v going into the ballast resister and close to twelve coming out. I checked the S post on solenoid and had a extra set of hands crank the engine. I was getting 6 volts during cranking. I checked the + s...

Re: No Fire

I have less then 1 volt at the coil + side. I have 12v into the key switch and 12V out of the switch when in the on position. I also have 12v on the solenoid on the I post for ignition. I have 12 volts on the ballast resister input as well. I'm losing voltage somewhere and both engines are giving th...

Re: No Fire

So far the only time I am able to get spark is when running a jumper straight from the battery to the + side of the coil. No other time has there been even the faintest of Sparks. So far I have replaced the ballast resistors and waiting on a new ignition module to come in to replace that as well.

Re: No Fire

Okay, really stupid question here. Does it matter if my flybridge controls and wiring are all disconnected. I assumed since I am able to select stations it was not an issue but just double checking.
