[QUOTE="jarance, post: 351342, member: 21"] Pic 1 - Got sparks show that the HT Ignition Coil is working. hence your crankshaft sensor is working. Pic 2 - show that spark plug is connected from the coil just before entering the distributor. This test will determine that the HT cable from coil to distributor is OK. (good test) pic 3 - Is that with the HT cable connect from the coil to the centre of the distributor cap & the HT cable from the distributor cap to spark plug holder (with the spark plug at the end.) - No sparks show that either the HT cable from distributor cap to engine is faulty or distributor is faulty. pic 4 - show the HT cable is bypass to check the distributor condition. No sparks means that the distributor cap is faulty. Based on the above test 1 to 4, you have proved that the spark is not flow from coil to the 4 terminals. You have to open the distributor cap and check whether you have mounted the distributor rotor arm properly. Take a picture of the rotor arm and internal of the distributor cap. [/QUOTE]
