    need TI help

    Car died while idling in driveway and wouldn't start. No power at all. Messed with the battery cutoff switch on the - terminal and got power back. Turns over but won't start. Did the diagnostic on the TI Specialty website and it pointed at the amplifier. Installed new updated amplifier module and still won't start, no spark at coil or spark plugs. Used the troubleshooting guide in the Summer 2008 NCRS Driveline. 3.5 volts at the + terminal on the coil. 12+ volts from the ignition switch. Coil primary and secondary resistance is fine. Magnetic pickup coil and distributor check out fine. 10.5 volts from the starter solenoid while cranking. Still no spark. Any ideas?

    I had similar issue, my trouble was the plug going into the amplifier. Make sure the three terminals are making contact rather than going to the outsides of the connector. Just a thought.

      Richard,

      Get a ohm meter and double check the ground at the amplifer to core support and core support to frame. Make sure both battery terminals are clean where they bolt to starter.
