I did change all the vacuum lines and can still hear a hiss but cannot track it down. My intake to head gasket may be gone. Hmmm, I'd love to go carb, but it's so expensive or at least when I found it

Ok Well, I got the car running. It's kind of fumbly, but she idles. However, you press the gas, it instantly dies. Any ideas?

Ok couldn't get out there tonight, I will take your advice FastWoman and try and very timing tomm evening after work. I'm sure the firing order part is correct though but I'm a bit worried it may not actually be timed. I'll give it a shot tomm! Thanks! I'll let you know where I stand tomm night

I sprayed a good amount of starting fluid in it. I mean I didn't hold back. When I put the new dizzy in, the car had stopped running before that. I'm afraid it may be a timing issue. I just put a fresh set of plugs in again cause I fouled the last set just by trying to start it so much. Every plug had gas smell to them. I will try and get out there tonight and see what happens with that spark test.

I just sprayed starting fluid in the upper hose piece in between the AFM and the Throttle Body, it gave a light backfire from the exhaust and the AFM made some racket. It DID NOT start. Now what?

As it stands, I am waiting on someone to be free who has knowledge on how to time the engine. Tomm I will be buying a bottle of starting fluid to give that a shot as well. I'm hoping that I can get this narrowed down. I really want to drive this car. I just wish it wasn't so complicated to me. I built my 300zx and did everything to it, rebuilt engine, auto to 5spd conversion, new ecu, timing belt job, it was all a breeze, this car makes it seem so difficult. So if I spray starting fluid in the TB, and she runs it's a fuel issue? If that doesn't work it's timing? Well so far anyways. Btw, FastWoman its all good. I'm not taking anything to personal, I'm just stressed that's all. (obviously about a lot more than this car)

It won't fire and die, just turn over and you can hear combustion in the chamber but it won't hit

The problem was I wired the ICM in the wrong order and I had the coil wires reversed. I have all the wires in the correct places now. Now it turns over and faster than before and you can hear it combusting in the chamber like it's wanting to start but won't.

Ok! With wire tracing, I have spark again. Now it won't fire but still turn over. It turns over really fast and you can hear it combusting but it won't actually kick. Someone gr any ideas?

My ICM has an empty slot. If you actually look at the back of it it has only five wires running to it. This is a nightmare. The old ICM had an empty slot too.

Cozye, is that the order it's supposed to be in from left to right if you're looking at it bolted back in the kick panel?

Well I have checked and I have all the wiring correct now and still no spark, now I feel like I've hit a brick wall.

Ok I have the color codes but only 5 wires on the box and from the harness so how do I wire it when the guide lists 6 wires :/

Ok so, I already have the FSM on my pc. I have no Internet so I'm using my iPhone. Upon looking at the FSM, it lists 6 wires to be plugged up on the ICM. I only have five. It states this G,R,L,BW,BW,B. I have a green, red, black, black with white stripe, and blue. So I'm a little confused

So do I take the wires out of the junction box and then put them on the multimeter? I replaced the pick up coil and the ICM, that's why theres a list of new parts at the top that's what all I replaced. Can someone find me a pic of there wiring on there ignition control module to make sure I set up the wiring correctly and to verify I didn't flip them?

Hey Zed Head, I did te test, first reading from positive terminal was 11.25. Second reading was 11.35.... What does this mean?

Slapped a working coil in there and still no fire.

I just hit my coil with the multimeter, with the key in the on position since I can't turn it over since I am alone. I put both ends of the multimeter on each the positive and the negative on the coil and got a 0.02 a 0.04 reading.. Now what? A new coil again?

Gary - sorry I am stressed and scrambling to fix this. Zed Head - it is a 77 control module, not the msd thing. Cozye - I pulled a plug and grounded it and it never hit even once. I'll try the multimeter test in the morning. I am really wanting this car to run

Oh my mistake, i havent updated this profile. Its on a 77 280z Fuel injected. SO when the key goes to on and start i should have 12 volts? if i do, then what? if i dont?

Really? 20 views and no responses?

Ok, a few months back i posted on here and since then my problems have changed. The car used to start and run and then die after about 20 minutes. Now it has NO SPARK and will not fire. It will turn over constantly but never fire. "NEW PARTS" Battery MSD Blaster 2 Coil NGK Performance Wires NGK Platinum Plugs Distributor Distributor Cap Rotor Button Pick Up Coil Ignition Control Module Why will she not fire? Just turn over. Its getting fuel, the pump hits everytime ( i took the S terminal off of the starter to hear it) I also got sprayed in the face with gas when i loosened up a fuel line to see if there was fuel in the lines and there were. She has no spark, and I am out of ideas. For someone that would like to exchange emails, get to me at drblackjack69@hotmail.com

Ok well I put an ignition control module in, and nothing. So I guess it's time to try the fuel pump?

Not sure, whichever one came on it in 77. It's a 77 fuel injected. When I ordered the part it was a dead match so whatever it is supposed to be I'm assuming.

Zed - I didn't pull the dizzy. Just the cap. I just find it really odd, that with a new pick up coil it would stop starting, but yet still have spark
