Thinking about buying an S13 but...

[revsx]

It doesnt start. There is power going to the coil but doesn't put out. Have tried a few different coils and it still is the same. I just wanna see what you guys think..

Dizzy... Check rotor and cap for any cracks or wear also check the ground on it.

honestly if the price is really good, the car has no frame rust, and the body/interior is straight, then it shouldnt be too hard to track it down, and if it turns out to be a trashed motor, you could probably hop on your local craigslist and find a complete motor for $150 or less

from what ive read coils on the s13 dont go bad that often...also check the injector clips, they have a tendancy to corrode so cleaning them can help, i was having issues with mine not running on a couple cylinders and that fixed it. i have a single cam ka24e

oh and check your plug wires and the wire running to the distributor from the coil

what engine does your car have?
