I will check the ignition coil this weekend. I am 99.9% sure that there isn't a ballast. There is a Transistor ignition unit which is #22020. Here is a picture of what I am working with. There is a smaller picture of the coil and the transistor unit off to the right. www.nissanpartszone.com/diagrams/large/S130/nissan-280zx-ignition-system-220001.png

Ok Fuel Pump ordered. I got it from Discount Body Parts . We'll see how goes. I will post on here once I get it installed. Is there any thing any else I can check in the mean time? Also is there a way to check the ECU to make sure that it is fine?

Would the broken fuel pump cause the ECU not to allow the ignition coil to send a spark? Where is a good place to get a new fuel pump? Nissan doesn't have any more and I hesitate to get one from a place like AutoZone, Advance Auto, or Pepboys. Blackdragonautomotive.com only has them for non turbo models. Also is there such a thing as a adjustable fuel pump incase I upgrade the car later on?

The connection for the power to the fuel pump is broken at the fuel pump. So I have the figured out for the moment. the above pictures show the fusible link cover with the diagram of how the links should be placed. the second photo shows the link in place. The third photo shows the middle link that is suppose to three connections but it missing one. and when I took the link out the connector didn't have a third prong. So is it supposed to be that way? And what is the next step? Also what is a baluster? Where is located? And how do I check to see if it is bad?

ok so all of the fusible links were fine. but here is some thing weird. but it is better show in the pictures below.

The lights on the inside do come on(with proper jumpstarting). The there is power getting to the ignition coil. but no spark is leaving the coil. A separate and unrelated issue is that the fuel pump needs to be replaced due to the fact that electricity connection is broke. I am working I tracking that down as well as trying to solve the no spark issue. I will be checking the links in a little bit and will post the out come in a few hours. Thanks for the help.

Sorry for the lengthly non response. I had a problem with my computer and couldn't log on and respond. I am going to try and get to testing the links this weekend. As a non mechanical/electrical person what do I need to look for when using the voltage meter? I have one I just don't know how to use it completely. And just incase what do I need to check next?

So awhile back I tried to jump start my 1982 280zx turbo. Foolishly I swapped the posts on the battery popping a fusible link which I replaced. I have also replace spark plugs, spark plug wires, distributor cap, rotor, and ignition coil. But I am still left with no spark. I feel like a huge doofus because if I had swapped the posts the car would be fine. Also I did get a new battery but it has lost charge because it has been sitting but I can jump start it without a problem using the correct posts this time to try and start the car but I am still left with no spark. I do know that a possible problem is the ECU. is there a way to test that and anything else going forward? Because all other possible solutions going forward I know can get costly quick. So I am trying to avoid buying unnecessary parts. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
