Exclamation More Opti Problems



Well I bought a new optispark, put it in and now I have no spark. I took it off, turned the ignition on and manually turned the opti and got allot of spark. Its not acdelco but why should that matter because its new but if enough people tell me that’s the problem then I will buy acdelco. I just don't like them because they crack easy and if they were so good the wouldn't break so much.

Wiring harness is a common issue. Give it a couple looks. Also a bigger list of symptoms and issues will help diagnose it as an install or parts issue.

Thank you for the help but i have found the problem. The optispark has a short in it so when it touches the block it just stops working. I already got a new one and it works fine.
