Thread: No Spark

The other night i was driving home and my gauge in my A pillar shorted out. I saw a spark from the gauge. My car is not producing any spark now and the ecu normally has a 1 or 2 second delay before it turns off after the key is in the off position and mine does not have this delay. At first the relays would click erotically but they do not do that anymore. Here is a list of things that i have checked already. This is in a b14

All fuses
All relays
Pulled the engine harness, unloomed it and checked for any burnt wires
checked the stock alarm box
Changed the dizzy
Spark plugs and wires
ECU
Ignition switch

any help or ideas would be very helpfull. This is my daily and i can not get to work without it. Thanks in advanced

bump for someone to inquire

What gauge was it that shorted? I think this would help to know.

it was an autometer oil pressure gadge

bump...i really need some help on this one

TTT really need help

where was the gauge wired into for power, that would tell you what circuit to trace
It sounds like you burnt a main fusible link in the engine bay. Part of the chassis harness.

it was powered from the engine harness main power. pin # 112

all of the fusible links in the fuse boxes are not blown

Check to see if you have power to your coil. Your main power wires for the ecu, coil, engine control which is injectors basicly, all come from a couple power sources. One comes from the main fuse box in the engine bay and the other comes from the interior fuse box.

The fusible links are very very hard to tell if they are blown sometimes. Once they blow they like to rattle around and a lot of times they will fall back up against each other or close, closing the gap that you would see. You should pull your main fusible links the 25 or 30 amp ones and do a continuity test through them if you cant visually see it blown.

You dont know how many times ive looked at them and they look like they are fine and then take them out for a closer inspection and they have a slit in the metal that is barely even visible. If it shorted out it blew a fuse somewhere. And sounds to me like you lost the main engine power which powers the coil and a couple other things.

^I feel that your right

Wow D after all that bull we never TESTED YOUR INJECTORS!!! and you have that badass injector tester with the harness ready to go..

TOO MUCH 151 = DUHHHHH.. {we fucked up}
