Re: Stalling When I put it in gear
Zeke..... Pertaining to your last post, I am assuming that on #2 coil, you do have spark (with the s/plugs removed) that will jump a 7/16" gap with a strong blue lightning like flame, what I would call a real SNAP! Anything less than this type spark is worthless so let us know what you're speaking of if it's anything less.<br /><br />Disconnect the large RED electrical connection at the engine, then with the spark plugs still removed, check the spark again. If you now have perfect spark, the usual cause is a intermitent shorted ignition switch.<br /><br />Having said that, since #2 coil is firing, you can test the other two coils simply by temporarily changing/switching the #1 and #3 orange coil wires to the #2 coil connection that leads from the powerpack. If, by doing this, both of the coils fire, you know that the coils are okay..... be sure to switch the orange coil leads back to where they belong.<br /><br />Check the sensors in the timer base as follows. Disconnect the timer base sensor plug from the powerpack.... the plug that contains a white, purple, green, and blue wire. Using an ohm meter, set the meter to Low Ohms. Connect the ohm meter's black lead to the white wire. Now connect the meter's red lead to the purple wire, then the green wire, then to the blue wire.<br /><br />If memory serves me right, the readings should be about 17 ohms +/- 5 ohms on those three wires. At any rate, they should all be the same. Are they?<br /><br />Now, change the meter setting to high ohms. Connect the black lead to a ground, preferably the timer base itself. Now connect the red wire to each of the purple, green, and blue wires. There should be no readings on this test. Any reading indicates that the sensor is grounded. What did you find here?<br /><br />If all the above checks out okay, I'd suspect that the powerpack is faulty. Let us know what you find.
