Hey guys, Got my 200/200 cam in, new John Craig (TE 61 guts in a stock hotair housing) turbo installed along with a ported intake and heads.

My question is that I have fuel pressure and everything has power, but the coils. I cant get any spark out of the damn thing.
I checked the ECM fuse, the ignition fuse, etc and everything is fine. but no spark.

Has anyone else had this problem????

P.S. does anyone have directions on how to set the cam sensor, Its in place but not sure if its in correctly (I think it would still spark though right?)

Thanks

Oh and P.S. if you see this Lee Thompson, get a hold of me to check this car out.

check your crank sensor. i had the same basic problem and it turned out to be that. the same time the crank sensor went so did my coil pack and module. hope this helps
 
Make sure your wireharness is completely screwed into the coil module, and that there are no loose ends. THe cam sensor and crank sensor is your next best thing to check, like the other guys said, check the positions,a nd especially that crank sensor. If it is wrong, there is no way that car will run right, if at all.

Good luck!

Cam sensor adjustment

If your cam sensor is not adjusted correctly there is little possibility of starting. Here is a copy of the procedure copied from the GN T-Type list:

Cam Sensor Adjustment Procedure
1. Measure on a piece of masking tape and mark it at 1.45" and tape it to the Balancer at 0 degrees.
2. Bring #1 to TDC and then grab the intercooler fan and rotate the motor to your mark (25 degrees ATDC). This takes a little patience and muscle. You can try bumping it with the starter, but I'm never very successful at that.
3. Back probe the middle wire of the cam sensor (marked B and normally blue) with a voltmeter. Turn the key ON, but leave the engine OFF. (I use a single strand from a multi-strand wire and plug the sensor into the harness and use an alligator clip on the little strand against the insulated covering of the middle wire)
4. Loosen the sensor with a distributor wrench or a wobble socket and extension.
5. Rotate the sensor full CLOCKWISE. The voltmeter should read 7.5+ volts.
6. Slowly rotate the sensor COUNTER clockwise until the voltage drops.
7. Secure the sensor at the instant the voltage drops.

The sensor is a hall effect device with a rotating metal ring that is driven from the front of the cam gear via a shaft (like a distributor). This ring passes thru a grooved sensor molded into the sensor cap. The metal ring has a notch or window cut out of it. When the window goes by the sensor, the voltage drops, which tells the ECM where #1 TDC is.

Hope this helps

Check your crank and cam sensor pigtails and make sure they are not plugged into each other. Also you must use the outer most slot on the crank sensor (the one farthest from the wires). I called and talked to some lady Wed. as I was going to the track. Never heard from you.
