Okay long story short i rebuilt the ka24de, its a 94, and it started up but it would bog down and shut off. Did that for 2 days and then it wouldn't start at all. I switched the ecu back to auto cause i thought it was a bad manual ecu, but nope. So far i've replaced the rotor, cap and coil. The plugs and the wires are also new. I tried jumping the ignition relay and nothing changed. I also changed all the fuses inside the cabin and i switched out the fuses, in the engine bay fuse boxes, with the ones on my running kae. After all that Im still not getting any spark.


On a side note, the ground plug next to the coil, i didn't plug it up when the car started up for the first two days. Would that short out a wire and not let it get spark?? Also how would i check to see if the power transistor is good or not, with a multimeter, would that also cause this problem? And as of now the knock sensor isn't plugged since the PO broke the sensor. Would that also have anything to do with my situation??

Please help me locate the problem... :frown:

Sounds like it could be a ground problem. Have you checked the coil harness for condition? It could be as simple as a pin that backed out of a connector somewhere.

Well it's getting spark now. It ended up being the Ignition control module but thanks. Now I only got one problem it's not ka related but I can't find the flashed location, for the turn signals, any idea where it's at for the s13???
