The starter turns the crankshaft, but the engine does not start | ||
| Check for high voltage at spark plugs | High voltage is present | Check the engine ignition system |
| There is no high voltage | ||
| Check for high voltage at the distributor terminals | High voltage is present | Check the rotor and distributor cap, as well as the high-voltage wires. Replace damaged components |
| There is no high voltage | ||
| Check for high voltage at the distributor terminals | High voltage is present | Check the rotor and distributor cap, as well as the high-voltage wires. Replace damaged components |
| There is no high voltage | ||
| Check for high voltage at the ignition coil terminals | High voltage is present | Replace the high tension wire between the coil and the distributor |
| There is no high voltage | ||
| Check all electrical connections of the ignition system | Too much voltage drop or temporary short circuit | Clean or replace electrical wire connectors |
| No damage found | ||
| Check for voltage at the +VE terminal of the ignition coil (battery voltage) | The voltage is incorrect | Check the ignition switch, the condition of the battery and its electrical wires |
| The voltage is correct | ||
| Disconnect the two low voltage wires from the ignition coil. Connect a 12V/21W bulb to the connector and turn on the starter | The light blinks when the starter is running | Replace the ignition coil |
| The light does not light (does not blink) | ||
| Disconnect the multi-pin connector from the ignition distributor and measure the resistance between the connector contacts | The resistance is not within the norm | Replace the ignition distributor |
| The resistance is normal | ||
| Connect the multi-pin connector to the ignition distributor; connect the new ignition switch. Turn on the starter. The light connected to the low voltage terminals of the ignition coil should blink | ||
| If the light is flashing, then connect the wires to the ignition coil and check if the engine starts correctly | ||
