I ordered a new ignition coil yesterday. I read about it being a possibility and I followed the test procedure in the Hayes manual and the I did not get the recommended reading for the primary coils. Hope this fixes it. Also reguarding the injectors I tested them as well and all the ohms were like 12.3 to 12.4, and the Hayes manual said 12 so I believe all the injectors are fine, plus I really did not want to spend like $50+ per injector because the injector man told me that a injector rarely ever fails mechanically, it just get clogged up. Any additional ideas?

thanks.

 

Well I installed the coil and the car is still hard to start at times. Here is a run down on it after sitting approx 4 hrs it starts first time after leaving the ignition in the on position for a few seconds. After sitting 45 min it is hard to start, so I cycle the key a few times to attempt to "prime" the system, and I have to push the gas pedal a little else it would have idled rough and the died. After sitting another 45 min it is hard to start, first I try to cycle the key once, no luck so I do it an additional 2 times and it starts but idles a little rough the smooths out. Drove for about 5 min turn off. Immediately I restart it and it starts first try no problems. I go back out in 10 min, turn to start right away and it starts up first try and idles a little low. With all of that said what would you suggest I look into next? It is really starting to get annoying people looking at me like the car is a pos, when it still looks brand new!

Thanks

 

That's quite a bizarre assortment of starting issues.
I'd skip the psychiatrists and contact Father Merrin right off.

Seriously though, i have no idea. I suspect its something to do with your fuel system and not the coil though, since if the coil was going bad it would be a tremendous coincidence that it would start having problems right when you worked on the fuel injectors.

 

Have you pulled any codes?

Obscure thread tags too just looking at them...

 

i'm sure a mechanic will find a way to test the fuel system pressure if u don't have the valve. do that before u spend any more money on stuff that's good on your car.

 

Yes, on the codes... there were none stored in the computer.
