Default No Spark at Coil

Over the weekend i tore my lt1 down again to replace a bad front oil seal. I went ahead and replaced the opti agian (free under warranty form zone) It started up and ran fine for about 10min then died. No spark at the coil now. Both the coil and the module are brand new.. Any ideas guys??? Maybe defective opti ?? Or bad computer??

scanner for a '95 needs a power supply(ie;cig lighter)so...you just changed the opti since you had it apart and got a warranty on it even though opti wasnt the issue?might have went out of fry pan/into fire!!lol.if it ran before.....bad front oil seal wont cause no spark/misaligning opti might!!

go to this thread and most of the way down it will have some attachments from me have a look at them and see if it will help to test.

Does the opti or the computer control spark at the coil?
