If the pump is not priming it is unlikley it is the TFI as this will have no effect on the fuel pump. If the pump is priming it could be the TFI or Coil.

If you need you can change the TFI module without removing the dizzy, did it on the EL Wagon. IF TFI is shot, coil maybe stuffed as well.


He said there was no spark even after a coil replacement. Hence the TFI theory.

Hate to be a double whammy of fuel pump and TFI...2 most annoying things to replace if you don't have the right tools.

There was a thread similar to this a couple of days ago, turned out to be faulty computer. Should get one cheap at wreckers. Are you getting 12v at the coil?

I reckon the 2nd computer that was tested would have had smartlock, based on 93 part number & wouldn't have started the car without a bypass being present or the rest of the smartlock gear. Need to get a non smartlock ecu to test with.

Cheers

Car is cranking over just no spark....

Pull the underbay connections apart and give them a good spray with WD40 and put them back together.... Check earth points too....

You could have, but if the issue is electrical, which it seems like it, it wouldn't have solved the issue.

Keep at it man.
