OK..
Is there power into and out of the ballast resistor and if so what voltages?

My 1986 Sierra won't start, it was running rough before it died. I have fuel, air but no spark, I have replaced the coil, points, condenser, rotor button, cap, leads and plugs. Is their anyone who can help me? |

Tried another battery or checked the terminals? |

What motor? I thought all G13's were electronic (no points)? |

I call BULLSHIT... You couldn't have replaced the points or condensor.. Scrawny is right 1.3's are all electronic and there were no 1.0 Sierra's or Maruti's in 86. |

It's a f10a so no it's not electronic |

Yeah I was shocked at first when I saw it was a f10a. Stupid question but is the ballast resistor sitting above the coil, if so then no their is nothing |

Ballast is normally mounted on coil or close to it. No power to the ballast means you need to look a bit further to see if there is power at the ignition switch. Run a wire from battery + to the ballast and see if the car starts. This will at least tell you that everything from the ballast to the spark plugs is working. |

Just curious, but I'm still getting spark at the points. Anyone have any ideas. |

Solved that there was a dirty wire so I replaced it and got power. Now I'm back to square one |

If you have spark at the points you can test the coil by removing the coil lead from the dissy cap and place it near an earth. Reove dissy cap , turn ignition on and turn engine so points are closed. Flick them open with a paddle pop stick or similar and you should get a spark out of the coil lead. As far as it not running... What is the point gap set at? Are the points burned/pitted? Is the spring button for the rotor in good nic? |
