93Z, getting intermittent spark at the coil. I think it might be the optispark, but is there a sure way to know? Could it be the module? I am thinking the pickup in the opti is not sending the signal correctly to the computer to fire the coil.

I want to make sure it is the opti before I take it all apart.

Any input?

throwing any codes?ses light ?could be module but....opti can cause it to throw all kinds of bad codes

 

It's hard to see that print but does it say to hook up a Tech1? I do not have a Tech1.

 

I will check for codes today.

 

How do I test the coil? Could it be a bad coil?

 

if u read though it u would notice that its checking for a pulse on the low resolution or test conector a. u can do this and most all the tests with a ohm/volt meter. a bad opti does not always throw a code.

 

found this lookin for other 4th gen sites.

Good stuff, thanks!

I just got a hold of a determinator scanner from my buddy, I am going to hook that in to see, what if any codes have come up and also to see if the pickup is showing rpm.

Boy do I really want to make sure it is the opti before I do it........

 

Ok, I scanned everything, NO codes. And I am get rpm signals when cranking the engine, that means the opti pickup sensor is working. So I will test the ignition coil or get a temp to see if that is the problem.
