  1. Stevej my distributor was not sending a signal to my TIU
  2. Ya I set everything up LIke you said
  3. Ya I flushed all of the fluids. And with the key on the on position I had 0 ohms. I was Looking at some of the wiring and I think the previous owner might have messed up some of the connections so tomorrow I’m going to make sure everything is correct.
  4. yes i was using a meter and a test light My resister is bad it was reading 0hms
  5. I cleaned everything up and still no spark but when i was testing the connections their is no signal coming off the distributor
  6. the car was sitting for 12 years and the second time i sprayed starting fluid in nothing happened.
  7. yesterday i got a 280z . today I started digging in to it and I realized I was not getting any spark. I tested the coil which nothing happed, so I took the coil out of my 280zx and just tested if it was just an issue with the old coil but even with the new coil their was nothing. I took the distributor cap off and cleaned all of the contacts and was still getting no spark. and just to see if something was up I reconnected everything and sprayed starting fluid in the manifold and it fired up for a second then died i went to spray a little more in and their was no more spark. Anyone know what the issue could be ? Update I cleaned up all of the connections and Their is no signal coming off the distributor to the coil. does anyone know what would be causing this ?
