SR20DET Redtop wont start (no spark) - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Hey guys

So I JUST bought my sr20 redtop 240sx and I love it. The car came with a relocated battery, and in the battery holder in the back of the car was a POS Car Audio battery! So, I changed it out with a Duralast DL-25 (Autozone said it was the right one) And now my car won't start.

I blew an ALT fuse. Changed the ALT fuse, all my interior lights work, radio works, car turns over fine, but won't start up! friend seems to think it's the Ignitor? I know for sure I'm not getting any spark. And I know I'm getting fuel (can smell it when trying to crank with engine bay open). Any ideas/suggestions? Thanks!

Suggestion don't buy autozone crap. duralast batteries are garbage, autolite's are better, have you checked your plasma coils, from there move to the ignition sensor located in you timing cover, but before that check you're engine control fuse, aka ecu fuse.
