Hello,
I have a 1987 Porsche 944 non-turbo that cranks but will not fire to the plugs.
I have 12.56 volts at the coil wire on the distributor end, but no spark. Is there a crank sensor, bad distributor or rotor button? I do not have much money and need to get running as cheaply as possible. This car was running when it got parked, now 3 months later won't start.
Can you help?
