89 t1 2.5 minivan:
Here is what happened. I was driving and the van suddenly shut down, I have fuel and heres the real kicker, had spark from the coil but NOT from the distributor to plugs. OK so yea i figure lemme try a new HEP, i go get one and put it in, still no good and then i noticed i LOST spark from the coil too now!!!! So now im like what the heck is going on here? help me out guys, ever hear of this?
BTW most important thing, i do get spark for a second from the coil when i turn the key on but not during cranking. and a slight jolt when u turn the key off, so yea just spark for a split second when key first goes to start position and then when the key is turned off. so anyaway as recap, i started off with spark at coil and no dostributor to plugs, swapped out to new hep module which didnt help then noticed no more coil spark either except for a split second when you turn the key on and a spark again when you turn the key off but nothing while cranking. Oh tried a new coil too but same thing.
However at a side note i do have 7 or so volts at the coil with key on. idk what should be there though. and i did get it to spark and start for a sec out of nowhere when i was first looking it over. and that was it and i still had spark at the coil after that. then all the above took place.
