No spark from ignition coil
Follow the chapter 22 page 8
I got 12 with ifnition switch on.
On the (+)wire. And on the (-)wire agot a constant light
Following my diagram. (Like u will see in the picture?)i got a igniter (transistor) and a condenser.. i take the igniter tothe auto parts to tested but it pass 3 times show its good.and the condenser got 2 cracks on the bottom.
My question. Can the condeser be bad and make the igniter not working right?
How do i test it?
Or im messing something?
Thank u sd and every one for let me be part of this new world for me .. God bless u all.

After i put I little more attention on the diagram..
I was testing the (-)side with the ignition coil still plug in.. and what i was seen is a bridge between + and -. So after unplug the coil. I only can see with the swich on . The test light on. .. on the + side .. but not on the negative side. (No light.noflickering on the (-)side.)
So i come up with tis question
The r/y wire from the ecm to the igniter should be light up when i turn the swich on right or im wrong?
Because i test it and my tester light up but very low .. because i understand there is low voltage from the ecm.
So on this case the igniters is bad? And the coil because shouldn't be bridging the(+)and (-)side right?
Thank you for u time.

And my ignition coil is bolt on metal bracket to the frame on driverside compartment close to the firewall.. and my igniter .. and condenser is bolt in. On the same bracket..
I thought that my ecu send a low voltage signal to control the igniter so this one can be switching like on and off?

That would be sweet but if you look at the diagram, there is a coil and a "+" inside the distributor that when it passes near each other pulses the igniter and that wire will send the cluster a signal for the tachometer. Only problem would be if that diagram is wrong. Please tell me if your distributor looks like this :

or if looks like this:

Thank you for your patience. See attachment and tell me if your distributor looks like the one with the big ball attached on the side or with the 4 wire connector.....

What i believe the igniter is bad or the bracket is dusty. .so cont pick it up a good ground..
Like i said on the last message
What i understand is the crank angle sensor send the signal to the ecu and then the ecu use that signal to send a low volyage to the igniter. And then my igniter start acting like a toggle swiching on and off to make my coil make spark.

Thinking like that, the igniter will give a ground to the (-) of your coil and bring the coil totally to ground to load up the secondary in the coil. Start by testing that ground, make sure is not gone. Look at the wire color, you should have one wire going back to the coil, one going to the ECM and another going to a ground nearby. Just check integrity of those wires, take a good look at the connector (look for green corrosion) and make sure that the ground connection is clean at the frame. Do you have a multimeter or DVOM ? The problem I see with these parts is that the wires and connections has to be in good working condition before replacing the igniter, coil or ECM.

And i check the black wire it has a good ground. . So last wire is the white . This is the one who make the voltage from the ecu flicker. But is not doing it. So i goig to replace the igniter..

That wire with the engine cranking should be kind of flashing with the test light, that shows that the igniter is grounding the coil. I am intrigued by the +/- 3v from the ECM, I was expecting to be higher than that. And the fact that igniter passed at the test at the store is strange. Just for curiosity, if you going to the same store, ask how many volts they use to activate the igniter, please. Thank you.

Following olldata. Said a low voltage from the ecm go to the igniter and the igniter take this low voltage to ground the coil. So make a flicker signal .. but
Is 2.62v enough ? And my igniter is bad

But i think they working because the ecu is sending signal but not enough. .

Pink = continuity or 0 hms
Yellow blue=continuity or 0 hms
Yelow black= 12.26 volts..
Alre used all my cartridges.
Only 2 bullets left... dyzzy.. and ecm..
There is any way to test my crank angle sensor ?
