If it's weak you might have incomplete combustion or possibly an irratic misfire, but most likely the problem that causes increased emissions is elsewhere. An increase in hydrocarbons is often caused by the O2 sensor or possibly the EGR valve. You could also have a problem with plugs, distributor, rotor or plug wires.
On a high energy ignition, possible problems include: Faulty keyswitch, faulty wiring or connectors, faulty pickup inside the distributor, faulty electrical condenser, if it has points (depends on the type of HEI) the points could be bad, faulty coil or faulty HEI control module. You will need to identify which component has failed.
If there is no trouble while shifting, then the problem most likely is with the ignition sequence. This could be caused by bad gasoline, a bad timing assembly or faulty spark plugs/wires.
Ignition or ignition switch could be bad or the selanoid could have went out
You didn't mention whether you've changed the coil wire itself. If it's faulty, you'll get no spark anywhere. Also, the power supply to the coil or module could be at fault.
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.
If you battery has plenty of power, either faulty contacts in ignition switch or starter motor, or faulty starter motor.
...could be allot of reasons why you may not be getting spark, here are some: # no power to ignition coil. faulty ignition. # faulty distributer cap, rotor. # faulty ignition module. # check for start signal from ecm. ...and there is a few more.
A faulty fuel pump could do that or a faulty timing belt (if equipped) could also do that. If it is a Ford, it could be the ignition module too.
most likely is a faulty chime switch,or a faulty ignition switch
Indirectly, yes.
Could be a simple as a poor fitting or faulty fuel cap.
MY GUESS IS A FAULTY IGNIGION SWITCH.
Faulty ignition wires, distributor cap and rotor could be to blame.
One thing that could cause this would be a faulty ignition switch, specially if you do not have ignition (cluster) lights. Just a thought...
More likely a charging fault. Check stator, rectifier and regulator. A faulty ignition coil would cause misfire, scant acceleration and lumpy idle.
if fan is electric,the radiator thermostate could be wired wrong/faulty.
Ignition coil could be damaged,a break in its power wire most likely the green w a black stripe,faulty computer,faulty distributer cap or rotor
