all 4 coils fire at the same time
all 4 coils fire at the same time
i have installed and wired everything exactly like it should be. i get the power light, the ignition led pulses while cranking and after about 1 or 2 seconds, the sync light starts flashing slower than the ign light.
but the engine does not start. so i checked the timing of cyl.1, and it is okay. but after a while i recognized, that all 4 coils fire exactly at the same time!!
what can cause this?? did i get a cpr of a big bang engine (sarcasm!).
engine: b16a2, stock dizzy, transistor at q37 installed
i live in austria, so i have no possibility to try a different cpr unit or a different s300!!
when i read other threads i often think, this stuff grows on woods in the states ;)
p.s.: is this spunkster in the installation video on youtube?

i can't upload mp4 files, so i have put the videos on my youtube channel: https://youtu.be/Rrh-FX-c4mY

Who did the wiring harness for this vehicle?
Re: all 4 coils fire at the same time
it is the stock wiring harness. installation of the cpr was made by me.
car was running properly before!

What vehicle is this in?
Can you post pictures of the installation and engine bay please.

Re: all 4 coils fire at the same time
it is a 1992 civic EG6, with the b16a2 engine.
can't it be just a faulty cpr unit with a short circuit inside?

Re: all 4 coils fire at the same time
I can't see any ground on your thermostat housing. I also see what appears to be a butt connector and a scotch lock of some kind attached to possibly the power side of the distributor wiring. I really can't see any other wiring form the pictures.
Re: all 4 coils fire at the same time
ground on the thermostat housing is clean and good, and cannot play a role, because i have a good spark. and this cable to the power of the ignition is just for the relais of the alcohol injection!
Re: all 4 coils fire at the same time
hard to make a pic!

Re: all 4 coils fire at the same time
Has the distributor been modified?
Re: all 4 coils fire at the same time
the coil removed and a cap mounted. stock td-86u distributor.
i do not know, how you use the signal of the hall effect sensor with the cpr.
what will happen, if the transistor , which i soldered to q37, is faulty?
what will happen, if the distributor has a defect?
the dizzy or a ground and power cable can just be the reason for no spark, in my opinion.
but this looks like it is using the one lobe signal from the tach, instead of the four lobe signal!?

Re: all 4 coils fire at the same time
I would recommend that you return the distributor to stock and try running the car form that distributor without the CPR. Then if it works, hook up the CPR but to not remove anything from the distributor. There really is no reason to remove anything form it anyway.
Re: all 4 coils fire at the same time
can you please explain, what you think is the reason for this.
