1988 Mazda B2200 with NO SPARK! - Mazda Forum

My old trusty Mazda B2200 decided to crap out on me the other day and it has no spark.
I had my coil tested and it came back poorly so I replaced to coil but still nothing.

When my key is on, both sides of the coil pack are hot. The center is only mildly hot (dim test light). While cranking the engine over: same thing.
Where is the Ignition Module located? Could it be anything other than that?

I have no spark coming OUT of the coil, brand new coil. I tried grounding the - coild side to the - battery but I don't think you are supposed to do that and it didn't work anyways. Thanks in advance!

Maybe bad points? or a bad pick up coil? Did you check to see if the distributor shaft isn't broken.

There is no spark coming directly from the coil so that is before the distributor. I need to figure out why there is no spark coming from the coil before I can move further down the line.

The coil sparks when the points break. check the points, and the ballast resistor.
