Help no spark

Post by leigh_boy »

hi every 1, i bought a corsa sri 1.4 a week ago , no non runner said to me just needed a bat, looked closed wirings all over the show, put a bat on and petrol, turned it over but wouldnt fire up, so i spoke to a chap who races corsas and he said could be 1 of 3 things, coil pack, camshaft snesor and crank shaft sensor. so i got all 3 from a running corsa same year and all that. still dont have a spark and its really pissing me off any idears?

i tried the paper clip thing but i might be doing it wrong coz nothing happened.


HELP!!!

19000??? must be reading it wrong they are 55amp or 70amp on a diesel

easiest thing to overlook you said you checked all the sensors coilpacks battery
did you check the sparkplugs, also the HT leads?

do you get a spark from any of the plugs at all?
