Anyone in greater lansing good w/ electrical?
I'm having a HELL of a time diagnosing this electrical gremlin that showed up AFTER I put my car in storage. Hell, I drove it IN to storage and now it doesn't want to drive OUT.
It's not getting ANY spark.
Test coil, no spark from coil.
Ground for coil, good.
Power to coil, nothing with key on.
Power to Mallory ignition, key on and from battery - good.
Ground for Mallory ignition, good.
Power wire from Mallory ignition to coil, nothing.
Jumperwire from battery to positive terminal on coil, still no spark.
Anyone have any ideas? I'm willing to bribe with lunch if someone/people can come by and help me out! Yes, you'd be helping out the enemy, but without the blue oval what competition do ya'll have? Imports? pfffft

How's the pass-key (the little chip in the key) looking? Do you have two sets where you could try a different key?

Yeah...a Mustang that won't even turn over (no offense 1S6).
Maybe I should have him check the wiring on the fan switch to see if it's frying the pcm???

lol... I had 2 f-bodies.. I went to the darkside... Its much more fun on this side =D
Besides, it'll turn over.... Well, it used too... lol, I'm going to try a couple things then I am ordering a new coil and if that doesn't do it comes the new ignition. This car 'll be back on the streets again here soon enough
