A rectifier is a device that converts an electronic current. The most common reasons for spark plugs not firing is because they have burned out not be a rectifier isnÕt working.
im not getting fire to the spark plugs but the distributor is getting fire what do i do please help
Check the distributor. That is the most likely cause, or the crankshaft sensor.
You will still have spark, car will try to start or backfire. If no spark at all the plugs see if you have GOOD spark from coil. If coil is working then you will find the problem in between the coil and the plugs, probably a distributor component issue. The ballast resister is a possible cause also.
A very good possibility is the opti spark distributor.If this distributor gets slightly damp,it can cause several problems.
Old spark plugs can make a car misfire, run rough, and not fire at all.
Faulty plug wires or bad coil or coil wire.
Check spark plugs and wires
Check the ballist resister on fire wall !!!!
no but it can stop the fuel pump from running.
Most automobiles will not start with a nonfunctioning coil pack. The coil pack will cause the spark plugs not to fire.
The polarity reverse at each firing
appears no fire going to spark plugs
