Hi hoping for some ideas direction. I am restoring a boat and done a lot of work on the engine to get it this far but cant get a spark from the coil which I replaced as thought it was the problem. Here is the condition after crawling through the service manual and testing as much as I can.
1. Ignition on I get 12v to coil, disconnected grey wire back to Tach in instruments
2. Disconnected red lead from coil and connected a spark plug tester from coil to engine earth and cranked with no spark.
3. Took out solenoid and tested independently but as I said the engine cranks ok
4. Have a diagnosis tester (Techmate) and only error code is 33 the MAP sensor, CAN THIS CAUSE A START ISSUE.? Sent for replacement but as I live in the Philippines will take over a week to arrive.
5 Started to look at the ECM and its connections and testing, The ignition relay i changed with the fuel pump relay as same part so i think ok, Checked with ignition on J1-11, J1-32 and J1-16 all have 12v over my meter (not using ECM earth.!!!). Manual fault tree analysis flowchart says the ECM ground issue or bad ECM (i am hoping not). In the ECM J1-14 and J1-30 are ground black/white wires, they disappear into my wiring harness and i cant find where they come out.!!! I did a check on both J1-14 and J1-30 and there is continuity to the cooling system water temperature sensor black. ANYBODY KNOW WHERE THE ENGINE BLOCK EARTH POINT IS FOR THE ECM EARTH.???
The manual ignition check says with key in run position Check for 1-12 Volts at WHT/RED Terminal on Distributor. My distributor wiring is different I have no WHT/RED (wiring diagram attached)
Any other advice appreciated.
