As the title says, I dont have spark... I cant figure out why..???? I have all the ground that I know of hooked up and the coils are pluged in. WTF did I miss? Why won't anything happen?

It's a 94 vanos in a 92 non vanos. I switch the harness on the motor to a vanos one with a vanos DME.

What did I miss :help

Have you checked your crank position sensor to make your its getting the proper signal from the crank?

Could be a crank position sensor. Make sure it is connected to a right connector.

IMO, something is wrong with the DME or a fuse, relay. Check the crank sensor for ohms 534 to 545 + or -.

We figured it out.. Bad chip in the DME:mad Switch the ERA chip and she fired right up:redspot now im on the long task of putting the complete front end on:shifty

But im on a luch break right now lol. 10 hours straight so far. And I've done everything except for figuring out why I wouldn't start by myself. I'm going to sleep good tonight:)

Thanks to all for helping with the quickness:buttrock
