how do i test an ignitor pack on rb20det?

[kwazza11]

my car isnt starting and i'd like to find out if its spark.

how do i check to see if the ignitor/amplifier is giving power to the coils?

also if one coils buggered i presume it would still start yeah?

not that complecated with the right tools

First thing you need to do is invest in an LED test light. Once you have one of these you should have a flash coming from the ecu whilst cranking. If there is no flash then see if you have a pulse coming fron the CAS. to test the igniter(assumming that the cas and ecu is fine) get a HT lead and conect it to the bottom of one of the coil pack and earth out an old spark plug and turn the motor over. if it sparks strong then it is fine. Also a new igniter pack is not worth any more than 300 so you want to make sure it is really dead b4 you buy one

Good Luck;)
