cps trouble car wont start

[DRIFTER WANNABE]

:1zhelp:thanks for any input before hand

i recently purchased a 89 turbo to go along with my na

anyways the person i bought it from said that the CPS was bad and that he could start it but it would run really bad

Is there anyway to check the cps to see if its bad???????????????

also tried to start it last night after resetting it and nothing.

Is it possible to be 180 out on the timing???????????

the cps had a four prong trailer light plug wired into it when i got it is there anyway someone could post pics or tell me what color wires on the cps connect to what color wires on the harness

will the car start with a bad CPS

THANKS

i would check the timing 1st of all.
you could do a search on here as that topic has been discussed to death.

thanks but i already reset the timing i even popped out my #1 spark plug and may sure it was at TDC the cam gears are in line with the noches and the crank on 0 and reset my cps

I want to be sure i have the wires on the cps hooked up right just so i know

but anyways i figured out why it wouldn't start my coil packs are dead
checked ohms on them and all are pratically 0
there supposed to be 140-180

It is possible to be 180* out. If you are on the correct stroke, you can see the cam lobe through oil filler hole.

Coil packs as in ignition coil packs?

 

[DRIFTER WANNABE]

yes ignition coil packs as in the ones that connect to your igniter and feed your spark plugs with energy

 

[jetjock]

I see. Well, since it'd be difficult to develop that energy from a primary winding of 140-180 ohms I suggest you scrutinize the TRSM more closely....

*cough*

i have a set(coils), ohm out perfectly too, not that 180 ohm crap though ready to ship

now the cps has a max range of 180ohms...

 

[DRIFTER WANNABE]

woops i was reading the coils secondary resitance which is unmesurable


im am no good with multi meters should the ohms stay constant or just flash for a brief second

 

[grimreaper]

constant, and touch your contact leads together to see what the resistance is between them first, then subtract that from you readings
