No spark & low buck

Post by damnitman72 »

Moving from pre 70's Mopars to a 94 mx3 is a little bit different than what I'm used too. Anyways like I said, I'm not getting spark & thought it might be the coil but noticed that the coil is built into the distributor. Is there any way to fix this this without buying a new distributor? Remanufactured distributors are over $200 & new ones are over $300. I'm not able to sink a lump $um into this right now. Any thoughts or maybe something that I over looked? Any help would be great.

Does this work with 4-bangers, or is this for 6 cylinder engines only? (mine is a I-4 auto)

It has been done to both. Tunes67 has done it successfully on his RS. The pins on the distributor harness are the same.
94' RS/GS/MS/CF Monster Turbo...coming soon.
93' GS SE, the Black Beast, the former love of my life...soon to be gutted and crushed.
94' GS, black on black, now in several small pieces...and one large crushed piece.
