Default Opti Help

I keep reading on the optispark problems and my car has been screwed up for a while. After replacing damn near everything we put this http://www.partsamerica.com/ProductD...pe=218&PTSet=A on there. Still not starting. Car will fire or hit or whatever and crank but want start. Any suggestions may have put the opti on wrong if any has a very good detailed explination of how to do this let me know. And what are signs of a bad opti?

i see that the link is to a 93,94 year. thats what i have i just did mine a few months ago and i installed it wrong. make sure the index splines are lined up. Sounds like you need to tear it back down and check it.

just wondering if the opti you bought was brand new or used?


the bottom one looks like the newer one but it still looks used.

I like advance auto for my wifes car and the farm truck, but I wouldn't use any of that crap on my z. I have taken 4 nib altenators from there that were bad. i finally went to somewhere else and was fine with the first one they gave me.
