911SC no start
First off, thanks to OSI930 for sending me his Bosch CDI unit for me to try in my
'83 911SC. Guys like him, and timmy 2, have been instrumental in helping me wade through the complexities of diagnosing a no start/no spark issue...
That's where the good news ends. For those new to the previous thread for this ongoing issue (It's been 2 months since I've driven my beloved 911), I've done the following while trying to diagnose this:
-No spark at any of the plug wires
-Plug wires are in spec for resis
-coil wire is in spec, as is the ignition coil
-Green wire coming off of distributor has good continuity to/from terminals 7 and 31d, reconnected this and the 2 vacuum lines to dizzy when reinstalling.
-Spark plugs all replaced and gapped to 0.7mm
-All fuses checked in front trunk, none burned, rotated all of 'em for good contact
-new ignition rotor and distrib. cap within spec for resistance
-triple checked correct ignition wire locations on cap and plugs, checked all for good contact.
-spark plug wires are new Magnacore
-Finally, got a working CDI from OSI930 today, plugged it in, engine cranked but again, no start.
I know this is not a no fuel issue, because I could smell raw gas from tailpipe easily after attempting to start 3 or 4 times.
Anybody got a silver bullet for this increasingly frustrating problem?
