Engine Died, No Spark HELP!

s13 ka24de I was driving down the street and suddenly the engine turned off. The car rolled to a stop and I have not been able to get it started since. It cranks and I am getting fuel but no spark. Where should I start?

All fuses and relays have been examined and are working.

I agree check or replace the dizzy. Once there is no spark engine will surely not run.

There are a ground wires by the Lhd master cylinder, two ground wires should be connected on the head right under the valve cover by the master cylinder. Since your car is a rhd, then its on the other side. That had happened to me a while back and that was the issue.

Also check the ground wire connection on the ignition coil and make sure its good. Could be a bad coil.

forgot to add,
I am not getting fuel or spark. The fuel pump primes but it does not go to the engine, I cant smell any fuel no matter how much I crank it

pull off feed line on fuel rail and turn ignition on...make sure you have two people and something to catch the fuel in. if you're getting fuel to the rail...then go from there.

It might be a busted fuel regulator that is why you are not getting any fuel upon priming. But about not having spark. It can only be within the ignition system.

What you should have done before anything major is replaced the ignition coil.


Swap it out and see what happens.
