i have a 98 gst that only sparks on 2 n 3...ignition coil,plugs and wires are good...could it be the ignition control module causing only the 2 n 3 coil side to sparK?

 

no dsm owners in here?

 

Could be the ignition control module. Little black box down on the side of the motor, on the timing belt side. I had one do the exact same thing and thats what it was.

 

i'll try that out once i get paid...i think what you wre talking bout is the power transistor...if im right

 

The ICM could be a probable cause as well as a cam/crank sensor. Go to a junkyard and pocket the item or pay whichever you prefer for testing, but grab multiple ones.

 

i think if usually the cam/crank sensor is out ...it wouldn't spark at all...right? cause one thing for sure when my cam sesnor went out i had no spark at all...

 

Might be the power transistor, i know went out car was running on two cylinders. It tached half of what is was actualy doing. Little black thing on the side of the motor. Been a while since i messed with dsm's.

 

yea ima chack it out when the money rolls in...i was thinkin the same...

 

Eh, it depends. I'm not sure how DSM's are, Im more of a Honda based guy. But in an older civic of mine, when the cam sensor in the distributor started failing it halted 1 and 4 from getting spark from the distributor.

Either way, good luck with whatever you do find and post the results

 

hooked up a new camshaft position sensor(out of an 95 gst that was made on the timing belt side)all spark on all four cyl...but some reasan the car wont start up...have feul spitten and everything...btw i have an 98 gsx ecu if that might be an issue...but before then it ran good with it...
