Posted November 3, 200321 yr comment_55618 Got a good one for everyone. When running the car just dies. I have power to everything but the engine. The starter will turn, but no fire in the engine. New distributor cap, and tested the wiring from the coil forward.Thoughts?Thanks.Tim.

November 3, 200321 yr comment_55621 From your other post I would guess that you're talking about your '83 ZX?Does it restart after sitting for awhile? How long?Chloe Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/8687-some-funky-ignition-problem/#findComment-55621 Share on other sites More sharing options...

November 3, 200321 yr comment_55624 The starter will turn, but no fire in the engine. New distributor cap, and tested the wiring from the coil forward. I would suggest taking another look at the distributor and the ignition module...I'm no expert on the ZX's but the symtom suggests that (distributor), and it's a common problem. Good luck.Chloe Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/8687-some-funky-ignition-problem/#findComment-55624 Share on other sites More sharing options...
