Hello Everyone,
I have a 91 Doge Spirit 2.5 automatic that stalled out on me when I was going around a sharp turn. I coasted off to the side of the road and got it to start again but if I got on the gas it would act like it was going to stall again, if I let it idle it would run fine. So I figured I would just baby it to my uncles house as he lived close to where I was. I was almost there and it stalled again, now it won't even try to start.
The starter is turning the engine but it will not start. The timing belt is intact, the fuel pump is working and there is fuel getting to the throttlebody. I cleaned the rotor and checked to make sure the plugs were all seated in the cap and the rotor is turning with the motor. However I do not think I am getting power to the cap. I unplugged the ignition wire from the cap and held it over the shock tower bolt and had a friend turn the key, I didn't get any spark.
My question is, would the coil going bad make the car act like it was starving for fuel and then just quit? If not what else would shut down power to the coil?
Thank You in advance.
Tony
