A shotgun approach to automobile repair is guaranteed to maximize your expense and minimize the probability of actually repairing the problem. Unfortunately, there are many repair shops that use such a method, with the preferred mode of operation being, "just keep repairing parts until it runs. If that last part didn't make it run, it doesn't matter. We'll tell the customer it needed to be replaced." Use logic and empirical method to solve the problem: What is it doing/not doing? Create a hypothesis: "Is it the _____? Bypass or directly test the suspected component. For an intermittent problem you may need to repeatedly test the component to see if you can cause it to fail. For example, if the starter engages intermittently you may need to run a direct wire to the starter solenoid and use the direct wire to bypass the neutral indicator, keyswitch and original wiring to see if the starter will function reliably when you use the bypass wire.

What is a Pickup coil assembly?

Without this, your distributor won't work. Without your distributor... :( Go to your distributor. On the outside of it you should see a plug with harness (?) feeding into the distributor. This is the beginning of your pickup coil "assembly". Take off your distributor cap. You'll see that "harness"/assembly feeds into the very top of your distributor, held by a "molded" grommet (on mine), then, it "coils" around the top and you'll see that it feeds (or plugs into) into some part of the distributor (again, you can only see this when your distributor cap is off). I'm basing all of this on my 84 CJ7. I have no clue if all distributors are the same. Good luck.


95 240sx with the ka24de and you are having troubles finding the dizzy wiring that hooks into the distributor any help?

For a 1995 Nissan 240SX with the KA24DE engine, the distributor wiring typically comes from the engine harness and connects to the distributor itself. Check the main engine harness that runs along the front of the engine; the wiring for the distributor is usually a set of two or three wires. If you’re having trouble locating them, refer to a wiring diagram for the KA24DE engine, which can help you identify the specific colors and positions of the wires. Additionally, inspect for any damage or disconnections in the harness that could be affecting the signal to the distributor.
