Hey

I am having troubles with my car, I broke down the other day and it seemed like my timing belt had snapped. I did a full timing kit on the car so that there would be no problems. Once everything was fully installed i fired her up and she started first time. she ran well untill i went to take a test drive as soon as i took off she broke down again. i went through the timing kit and there was no problem. I ran a plug test and found out that there is no spark coming from my spark plugs. i tested the wiring harnes going to the distributer and there is power to the distributer but nothing to the plugs. i have heard some mention to there being an issue with the fuel pump however there is no problem with the fuel pump. does any one have any ideas.

Thanks

P.S the engin is a 5f-se

1/ Check the lead from the coil to the distributor for open circuit.

2/ Check carbon contact spring and rotor button inside distributor.

3/Check distributor cap for cracks / moisture.

4/Check all plug leads for open circuit.

5/ Check connections on coil are attached tightly.

6/Check coil for open circuit.

I don't know if this model uses points or an electronic pick up , but these can also fail.

Hope this helps. :)
