The car always started immediatly, went to start it and it didn't want to start, turned over numerous times and then started, drove it, shut it off, started again without a problem. Tried starting it again, turns over great, but will not start. After trying different tests found that I sometimes have spark coming off the coil wire and the next time there isn't any spark. Changed the coil but still have the same problem. Can you help me with this.
Thanks

Hi workatteamwork,

Thank you for the donation.

When sparks are missing, it could be the ignition coil, ignition control module or a faulty ignition switch.

When problem occurs, test the Black/Yellow wire at distributor for voltage with ignition switch ON and while cranking. If voltage is intermittent, the ignition switch is faulty. Reconfrim by noting if the dash indicators lights are showing when ignition is ON and while cranking.
