When should voltage be present at the coil?

as soon as the key is turned on.

what is the issue??

Roy

I don't have voltage going to the coil. The pcm has been replaced with a re-manufactured one.I put one on and when that didn't fix it i thought it was bad and exchanged it for another one. It ran for about 20 minutes then started acting up again.No voltage at the coil. I then unhooked the power from the coil and ran a jumper from the battery. Still won't start.

i would look at the ignition switch as the power comes from there not the pcm. if you have your original one, re install it and start from scratch.


Roy

if it would be that,,why won't it start when I run a jumper?

because the ignition side feeds more than just the coil.

Roy

i'll try it. thanks

I put a new ignition switch in it. Still doing same thing. It will run sometimes. When it dies and won't start still no power to the coil.

did you test for power to the coil on the positive side???

Roy

yes

Guys keep telling me pick-up coil...could this be it?

You need to fix the power problem to the coil-the distributor pick-up coil is not gonna operate

The pick-up coil sends a signal to the pcm telling it when to send power to the coil and the injectors. I replaced it 2 days ago, runs great now.

We know that-The distributor pick-up coil controls the coil and injector-been here before-Your welcome

Read what you wrote on June 5.

I was giving you a hint-So what's the problem here

"You need to fix the power problem to the coil-the distributor pick-up coil is not gonna operate" Looks to me like that answer says the pick-up coil is not the problem.

Oh! well you got it fixed-Good Luck
