Possible reasons why you have no spark:
Bad ignition module
Bad pickup coil
Bad engine control module
Wiring issues
Well that depends, the 2000 Chevy c2500 is the transition year, and depending on what parts were remaining, as to what percentage of the vehicle is made up with 1999 parts. My 2000 Chevy c2500 truck has a distributor, my friends does not. Unsure as to why, but they are the original engines in both vehicles. Best to open the hood and look to the rear of the engine, do the spark-plugs enter into a roundish plastic device with fingers sticking out four on each side and one out the top. That would be the distributor.
The distributor cap is located where the spark plugs cables are connected .They go from the motor to the distributor cap.
Check the carburetor, fuel pump, spark plugs, distributor.
If you don't have spark at the plugs, or at the distributor cap, the problem is probably a faulty ignition module. This is located under the distributor cap and ignition rotor. You need test equipment to check the coils, modules and pole pieces.
You need to check the ignition coil, It could be getting hot. There is also a pick-up coil inside of the distributor that could be shuting down when it gets hot, that is what the module plugs into on the distributor. If this don't help you then ask your question again.
The spark travels from the coil to the distributor then from the distributor to the plugs. So if you have spark going into the distributor but not coming out to the plugs, I would blame the distributor cap and rotor being at fault.
haynes or chiltons will have this
There is no distributor cap as there is no distributor. There are 3 coil packs, each coil fires 2 spark plugs simultaneously.
inside the distributor cap. there should be 2 sets of plugs that go to your distributor, those plugs go directly into ur ignitions module
4.3? Follow the spark plug wires from the spark plugs, they will lead you right to the distributor.
How about the ignition wires, are they original?
im not getting fire to the spark plugs but the distributor is getting fire what do i do please help
New spark plugs and wires are all that is needed to tune up your 1987 thru 1990 Chevy Celebrity, assuming they are needed. Since it uses a distributor-less ignition system points are no longer used and the timing is all controlled by the ignition control module. It makes for quick and easy tuneups.
faulty ignition components. you need a tune up. plugs, cap and rotor,and wires but it is usually caused by a bad distributor cap.
ignition module is located under the distributor, where the spark plugs come out to go to the spark plugs, remove 6 bolts that hold the 3 capped distributor on, unplug the wires from both ends of module, 3 plugs, lift module out, nothing holds it in after distributor is removed, plug new module in, replace distributor.
Is it a brand new distributor ? If not then replace the module and pick-up coil in the distributor that you have.
For an engine to start it needs spark to the plugs and fuel. Without both it will not start.
