Ran a diagnostic. Would appreciate an opinion on where to start looking.

I ran the diagnostic test on my '92 and got a "1", which according to Miata.net is the code for "ignition pulse".



Could someone provide me with some insight and where to look for the problem?



Thanks, Marc


I posted this in another thread:



Here are the symptoms:


  1. Turn key, engine starts, rpms rise, then car dies within a couple of seconds.


  1. If I turn the key again, the engine will crank, but not start.

  2. If I turn the key to the off position before I crank it again, the engine will start/die again.


  1. If I turn the key on-off-on-off-on-off-on in rapid succession, I can keep the car running, with rpms constantly going up and down, as would be expected.


Code: 01 Sensor or Subsystem: Ingintion Pulse Diagnosis: No signal. Check Ignition system - ingiter, coils and wiring.

The coils are situated on the back/top of the valve cover and can be removed quite easily. Have a good look at it and you might find something. If you need info from the workshop manual let me know...

Clean all the connections at the ignitor.
