Ok so I have done the search function looked at all the issues everyone else has and still can not get this car to fire. I have zero spark I've changed the coil, Module, distro, and nada. I used alldata to get info but looks like everything is good. I used a multi to signal the wires and everything shows to be in good order.... My head is spinning can anyone help????? 91 ford festiva fi

OK, a little background so we can see how this developed.
Rotor in the proper position and spark plug wires correctly attached distributor cap?
BTW, welcome!

Rotor and everything is all correct. Its like the cps isnt sending a signal and alldata says it should ohm out at 210-215k and ive tested three distro including one off a running car and none of them are even close to that range. This is my buddies car I own a kustom fab shop Building turbo cars and stuff but this "Beast" is a big pain in my... well you know...."Its not about what you know Its about how good you use the knowledge that you have"Comment

How about the ECU? This could be bad.Comment

Ya I was thinking that so while I have been playing with the car I took the dash out to make it easier to probe wires. But anyhow I dont want to just throw an ecu at the car as I try to do things by the book and not be some shade tree thats throws parts at cars hence why Ive asked this question but Im about ready to just order one and try it."Its not about what you know Its about how good you use the knowledge that you have"Comment

How many ecu's have you guys seen fail? I took it apart and looked at the guts none of the resistors are fried and it looks really clean to my amazment inside"Its not about what you know Its about how good you use the knowledge that you have"Comment

I had a similar problem recently with a VW, and the tests showed the ECU to be good. You can probably get a used one on the board cheap from someone. They don't go bad often but they are electrical!Comment

True. did the wiring harnesses change year to year? Reason I ask is because can I use any of the fi ecu's or does it need to match numbers wise to the one in the car?"Its not about what you know Its about how good you use the knowledge that you have"Comment

You can use any EFI wiring harness except for 89, it is a one year only harness.Comment
