Hey guys, My D21 stalled in the middle of the road and now will not start We did some tests and determined that it did not have spark. I changed the coil and still no spark. I got 12V at the coil's harness when the key is turned on. I checked the computer's codes and it keeps doing one red and one green blink: that's supposed to be the crank sensor. I got two different distributors from a buddy and still no spark. I changed the cap and rotor too. I am now stumped. I was wondering if there was a way to test the crank sensor directly? I just don't know what else I can look for.

my mazda b2200 did that and it was the computer ignition module. try a junk yard one as they are much cheaper than NEW. if you have access to a buddies swap it out to be sure then buy one.

google translation please?

Code 11 is a Camshaft Position Sensor code as far as I can tell. http://www.nicoclub.com/FSM/pa...c.pdf That's as far back as our FSMs go, hoping that might shed some light.
