Hi, I dont post here often but I hope some of you Zilvia Z guros will forgive that and throw me some advice concerning my '91 TTZ.
I got in my car last night and tried to crank it (car had been sitting for a week). It cranks like it wants to starts but dies immediatly after the crank. This morning I checked for spark. I pulled the #1 ignition coil pack, and did the sparkplug on the plenum spark test.
No spark... I then removed the sparkplug and stuck a screwdriver in there instead and repeated the test. I got a very weak orange arc. Ive been told it should be a bright blue arc. So im assuming im having a spark issue.
Also when I crank, it smells of gas(from the exhaust), so I dont think its a fuel issue.
This is what ive got so far...so please help! http://www.300zxclub.com/images/smilies/nopity.gif
