NO spark need help please

My dads car is not working and lately he has become dependent on it for his mobility. Any help would be appreciated.

 

Its a Daewoo espero. The car does not fire up. I have done the usual checks and found out that there is no spark being produced. Battery is fine. Traced it to the ignition coil/module as no spark was being produced there. I managed to find a second hand module from a working car but still no luck.

 

What else can cause a 'no spark' ? I though it might be a crank sensor but according to Daewoo the car has not got one?

 

Please help:search:

Hi- Cheers for reply. T

 

the problem lies before the rotor arm -at the coil, the coil is not producing a spark- so the rotor arm will have no spark either as power to the rotor comes from the coil. Need to find out why the ignition module/coil is not producing a spark

If both coil modules are producing the same result it must be the LT feeds to the modules.

Can you get a wiring diagram and trace it? Or even check you have voltage running to the coil module. You may find you have fuses, connectors to check.

If that checks out then suspect the ignition switch...

i'm pretty sure that the daewoo's have a ignition amp built in to the distributer. there should be a two pin plug on it check for feed between terminals and earth, if theres a feed then its most likely to be the distributer,as the amplifier is part of it.

Would this cause the coil not to produce a spark?

yep;)

 

Hope this is clear

 

Hi- just want to check that you mean the ignition module/coil- the bit that send the sparks to the distributor- not the coil that connects to the spark plugs when you answered yes to my prevuis question. " would this stop the coil working?"

Just a little confused as the problem lies with the module not producing a spark. the part that send power to the ditrubutor. If the amp in the ditributor is the problem surely you would still get a spark from the ignition module?

 

sorry about this
