no spark

Mar 18, 2005 8 Replies

hi, i have a 1991 chevy k 1500, with a 5.7 litre engine, and an automatic trans. the problem i have is that i have no spark, there is power at the coil, but none after the distributor, i have changed the coil, distributor, computer, and the wire running from the coil to the distributor, with no change. I have a tach and it is not responding at all when i turn the truck over, i was wondering if anyone had any ideas. thanks a lot


Who makes a good replacement?

The last one I picked up, died a short time later, I think it was a borg Warner. Any Brand recomendations?

Cheers

Delco.

You're wasting your time with anything else.

MSD makes a HP replacement module that will beef up the spark in the process, Here is a link to the page describing the unit and it's benefits....

Did you bed it in silicone compound. If not, it won't last long. H

Very good point, alot of heat generated by the little bugger. Usually, if you take the old one out, you will see that it is cooked. Used a delco, 8 months, still ticking.
