Crank but no start

817B!GT3X · August 2nd, 2008, 08:51 PM

My car cranks but it don't start. There isn't anypower to the sparkplugs or the Distribuitor. Everything else works,what could be the problem?

are you getting power to the ignigtion coil, also are you getting power to the starter solenoid?

Yup! I've got a MSD 6A Box hooked up with a MSD Blaster Coil.

Also got all ground cables checked.

I'm would look at the wiring. I've seen people wire up MSD boxes wrong on EFI Mustangs many times. Hook the stock ignition back up.

I followed the instructions so it can't be that. Could it be a bad Distributor or igniton Module?

No offense but everybody follows the instructions yet people still screw up. You are human, you make mistakes. Double check everything to verify that it is wired properly and make sure you fully understand the instructions. I would also bypass the MSD and try it with just the stock ignition. Honestly that MSD is not going to do anything for you anyway on a stock or mildly modified Mustang.

MSD boxes are pretty notorious for going out. I agree you should try by-passing the box and trying the stock ignition before buying anything.

I've tried with the STock igniton and still no Spark

817B!GT3X · August 4th, 2008, 09:52 PM

the problem was the Ignition Module.
