Anyone know how to check the igniters? The RB won't start-up. It'll just crank, but won't light up. There's fuel coming, there's power, but no spark. Is there something else I so check, also? Thanks.

sounds like either the ignitor or maybe the CAS...try another ignitor that you know works...other than that i dunno?

we were having trouble with my friend's CA18 and we ended up using my CAS and it worked...

Check power to the Ignitor 12V if there is power remove the CAS and turn it by hand. The plugs should spark and injector work, if not check power to the CAS and out put from it to the computer...

Thanks for the help, I checked the ECCS and it came up with a 55. I checked the CAS, there's power to it. I can hear the injectors open, but no sparks. I checked the power wire going to the ignitor, theres power. Then I hooked up the ignitor back on with seven pin plug on and the six pin plug off and result, no power.

Is the main ignition relay down by the ECU working properly?

I'll check. I'll switch them out and use the stock ones.
