Trying to help a friend with his 74 Carbed 1.8. The car ran last year, he just pulled it out for the summer and the fuel pump was not running, but the car turned over. He asked me to give him a hand, the end result is he is not getting power to the coil (fuel pump is wired to the + side of the coil), checked fuses and relays and can find no problem. When you turn the ignition switch to ACC the idiot lights are not coming on and no power to the coil, continue to turn the ignition switch and the car turns over, but still no power to coil. Any suggestions??
Thanks, |

It sounds like he has no power to the coil. The fact that the idiot lights don't come on would indicate that he has a blown fuse. I would go over each fuse on the fuse block and make sure that you have a good fuse with a good clean connection.
Get an emory board from your favorite toolwench and use it to clean each of the fuse block contacts until they are bright and shiny. Then replace the fuses with new ones that are the same color. That way they are the same amp rating. |
