No Spark...? I replaced my coil today and dont have spark still. When i pull #1 plug wire and put an extra spark plug in it on the header i get spark maybe once every 15 sec of cranking. Is there something besides the opti that would make it do this? I do know that my ICM is good. Would it be computer related in any way or should I just get a new opti?

if you are getting a spark at least i doubt its the opti(could be but doubtful). but if you get a spark then the other sparks have to be going somewhere check for loose connections to the primary/secondary of the coil and the coil wire itself. if thats all good ill see what i can dig up for you.

It only sparks every so often. Actually less than i stated up there^^^. Right as it sparks the motor acts like its about to start then the spark stops. Its like 1 spark.

ya check the wires all over the spark has to be going somewhere, if you are getting at least one spark i doubt its the opti. could be timing issue though or wires are shorting to ground and it just so happens that it sparks once in a while because it does not chose that path to ground.

I dont know to be honest. The car came with them when I bought them. They are MSDs. They were a little cracked in some places now that I think about it though.... How would that short out everything though? Its like I'm getting no spark at all. Once every so often. I took the opti off today and played with it a little to adjust the timing and stuck it back on and got good spark(which was a first) plugged everything back up and motor still didnt fire. Then took it off and checked it again and no spark. Im confused...
