2.0 No Spark Issue
 

Well i have a 96 Jetta that is refusing to spark, I have replaced crank sensor, distributor, plugs, wires, and coil and still nothing. I even went further trying to get other questionable problems checked off and i replaced the wiring from the motor to fuse box and ECUand starter. What could be the problem? Everythings works. Its sending fuel to the injectors and the timing is right its just not giving any spark.

How do you know you're not getting spark? What tests are you doing that tells you that? Maybe you got a bad coil...did you replace the solenoid?

RE: 2.0 No Spark Issue
 

Yeah I replaced the starter. I borrowed my neighbors voltmeter and hooked it into the coild plug and it said there was none going to it.

RE: 2.0 No Spark Issue
 

Did you change it?

RE: 2.0 No Spark Issue
 

yeah. Its has a brand new coil. I dont no why it wouldnt be getting any power to it

RE: 2.0 No Spark Issue
 

Man, I dunno then, maybe you got a bad part, it happens. I'm out of ideas

hey when ever you read this, try this stick a screwdriver in the sparkplug wire and put the driver onthe intake manifold, have a friend start the car to look for spark. if no spark check ground wire straps, loose connectors, animals might have chewed the harnessyou never know

RE: 2.0 No Spark Issue
 

not a bad plan but not sure if i like the idea of doing it on the intake. why not just use a plug that you know works (like from a lawnmower or dirt bike or sled) and use that to test?

RE: 2.0 No Spark Issue
 

Yea that's right....use a spark plug, that way you can tell if the plug is fouled out, and maybe that's what's goin on. I also like the animal theory, as weird as this problem, it's prolly something weird like that, that's happened. Def keep all of us in touch!!

RE: 2.0 No Spark Issue
 

I tested all of the wires and everything and fuses and relays and checked the plugs. I was nrevous that i would get zpped but indeed the car still has no spark. Its getting plenty of fuel though. Also before the car went down it was running rich. Could this cause a no start?

RE: 2.0 No Spark Issue
 

Not exactly, that wouldn't cause a no spark unless from the spark plug side you fouled it out. Test the spark with new plugs, plus running rich can cause the detonation and all that crap that could happen. I'm thinking this is a stupid problem, I'm doing a lil research myself on this.

RE: 2.0 No Spark Issue
 

yeah it probably is a stupid i'm over looking. The car just died in the rain. It never liked being strated in moist conditions are I put the foglights on it.
