924 Getting Spark?
Ok, so i picked up a 1981 924 from a guy recently that has been sitting for a long time and im trying to put her back on the road and then slowly restore her.
When I got the car I had compression and a good starter but the timing belt was MIA due to dry rot.
Ive replaced so far the spark plugs, wires to dist, rotor, dist cap, wire from dist to ignition coil, ignition coil, ignition module, battery. I then made an external fuel pump system and rebuilt the jetronic system, new injectors etc. I have fuel and compression, no spark, and the timing is somewhere in the ballpark ( no timing mark on crankshaft pulley so i ran cylinder 1 to tdc and put the camshaft on the timing mark then put on a belt).
So Ive hit a wall, Im colorblind so tracing wires is a no go at the moment. I dont know if the ecu is dead or even if its getting power, not sure what relay or anything powers it or if it should start without the ecu. I have a multimeter but ive never been shown how to use one so it may as well be just a hunk of plastic to me.
Can I give straight power to the ignition coil? and if so how would i go about that?
Any help would be appreciated.
(trust me i know im an idiot)
