for some reason i can not get my 91 240sx to spark. i'm still running a KA24 with only an intake and full exhuast. my whole ignition system is stock, i've tested the coil and power transistor which both tested out good. i've tested the distributer, which also tested out good. i tested my resistor/condensor which tested out good. i have power to all the wires that are supposed to have power but still nothing. i've also gone down to my ECU plug and tested down there and everything tested out fine.
has anyone had this problem before and know how to fix it?? any and all input is appreciated.

is this a 24E or 24DE? whens the last time you did plugs and wires?

don't take this the wrong way but you did all these tests and didn't mention testing any fuses or relays, did you check the ign control fuse? under the hood check relays, does it crank or not? check yourgrounds and also make sure you're starter is good

how did you test the distributor, and the coil?

so i take it that the car is still turning over? if so, like Mishkin_707 said break the test light out and check those fuses and relays.

+1 on checking your grounds. There's 2 for the engine harness. One on driver side of the head towards the back and another on the intake mani around your coolant sensors. I've come across too many cars with this issue.
