RE: [T3] No spark??

["Richardson, Gerald" <Gerald.Richardson@NOVELLUS.com>]

Thanks to everyone who replied. I have found the problem...... Well sort of.
My coil is getting no power. I measured from the fuse block and where it
hooks up to has no power coming into it. I have to break out my diagrams and
trouble shoot further, but for now, I can hook up some juice to that spot
and get my baby home. Again thanks guys.
