getting fire from coil but not to plugs

Yes the distributer is turning but I dont know if it is getting enough fire how do check that

It only sparks about a 1/4 of a inch and its kinda orange and blue

No but if you think thats what it is I will get one

No I have never replaced the ignition wires

Just tryed it and it is not jumping at all

I have a 2000 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 5.9L and replaced spark plugs, distributor cap, rotor, and still had a miss problem going on when i floored it. I noticed every time it rained it got worse and eventually the engine died out on me all together driving home from work oneday about a block from my house. My neighbor and I got the truck to my drive way where we started checking for spark using the screw driver to frame method while cranking over the engine and had nothing on the spark plug wires coming from the distributor. We then tested using the same method using the ignition coil wire and had a light pink to orange arc. Ran same test at the coil itself to rule out faulty wire with same result. Once I took off the ignition coil it self, I then checked the resistance through the coil using an ohm meter and compared the results to my handy shop manual. The coil was out of tolerance reading through the primary and completely dead through the secondary... I also had a big crack in the bottom of the ignition coil where water and moisture could have been causing my problem when it rained. Once I replaced the coil, the truck fired up immediately. I took the truck around the block flooring it with absolutely no miss at all. I had been having this miss problem for a very long time and learned something through the process. As I pulled the truck in the driveway from my road test, my neighbor says "NOW THATS THE BIGGEST SHIT EATEN GRINN IF I EVER SAW ONE"... Lol... Thought I would pass this info. onto the poor unfortunate fools dealing with the same problem.

Yep....weak coil is pretty common. More common than a distributor failure...cause the coil has to repeatedly ramp up and fire energy so quickly...it's doing a lot of work!

I got a 98 Chevy k2500 getting fire from coil but not to my plugs I've changed cam sensor crank sensor coil an distributor but still no spark at plugs any suggestions

I have a 99 dodge ram 1500 it will run but shuts off after a while and will start after a couple hours run again and shut off again but every time it sits a couple hoursit will start back what's wrong

would it be the same in a 93 Cherokee Laredo?

Replace your coil

I have spent a lot money in my 98 3500 5.7 Chevy. From everything new coil, distibutor, crank senor, timing chain, harmonic balancer, margle sensor, spark plugs, spark plug wires, fuel pump, fuel filter. Truck ran for two weeks and then started spuddering on take off and died out and will not crank now. What I'm getting is not enough spark. To my number one spark plug, it's pinkish blue and not pluges are wet with fuel. Machnic said it not enough fire to all eight of my pluges. Please help with any suggestions.

Had the same problem with my 1988 dodge ,lol

1998 GMC Sierra 4.3 liter getting fired to call but not to the pub

i have a 77 dodge w200. This has happened on several occasions where i will work on the truck changing coil, setting air gap, plugs, wires and nothing changes, will not start. No spark anywhere. Then i walk by the truck a week or so later and it starts. Last time i let it sit for 2 weeks and since then i have not been able to start it. what i noticed with someone helping me, after trying 3 coils, two different distributors, new ignition module, hot wire from battery to coil and starter thus by passing key, still no spark. also attached ground from battery directly to coil mounting bolt. nothing seems to get me spark. Cursed this electronic ignition more than once. (oh yes i have had the carb off this truck 6 times in a month, that gooooooooood gas we buy now days just seems to gum up in the carb). any ideas?

I have a 94 inline 6 have no spark. Shot ether in the carb nothing. Changes distributor button, cap, coil, and ignition module still nothing am I missing something??????

this thread started out as a Dodge thread and turned into to a Chevy thread!

Back to dodge. .. I have a 01 ram 1500 w/360. It had all the symptoms of coil failure. Sputtering backfire, hard start in the cold, idle issues fuel econ getting worse and worse . Blah blah... died on me Monday and won't start. No spark going to distributer etc. Take it into shop. .. dealer says it's the crank shaft positioning sensor. .. is that right? ? I'm just a girl n all... but wouldn't it make sense to start w/the coil and wire first??

Ok. Cool. I will do. there where no codes up when she died.. I checked...key thing. . I'm wanting to learn more so I can do it. F the middle guy. Haha! But thanks eh?!

hei I have a mazda mx 6 kl engine 2.5 i24 valve,after tune up no spark,what can cause that?

coil power with the key on but disappears when you crank it over This is happening to me, what is it? Dodge Ram, 1500 v6 99' New button, cap, and pick up, new coil, new coil and plug wires Squirrels got in and chewed through (TPS, o2, fuel injector, distributor pick up) wires I have cut crimped and replaced all wires, pick up wires had to be changed with heavier gauge wire so resistance is off Rotar is spinning

I have a 96 ram 1500 5.2. ran fine shut her down and the next day no start. Changed coil, crank sensor, (and was a whole lot of no fun), relays and pcm. no start. when I turn the key on I don't hear any relays click. no communication with the scanner either. The ignition test 12v on all wires with 1 ground untill asked to start then that one goes 12v. Please help...

Pick up coil below distributor cap

2000 dodge 1500 4x4. Wire was broke running to crankshaft sensor!

I have a 2000 Dodge Ram 318 motor. It shut off on me and won’t start will crank over. It’s spark coming from the coil pack to the distributor but not to the distributor to the plugs.

Was driving and truck lost power almost like if out of has tried to start it a few times would crank over lose power not won't start at all

Why I can’t get a good ground to start my 2002 dodge ram 1500

Check main ground battery cable and terminal connections. If you bend the battery cables and they make a crunching sound then you need new cables.
