Chrysler Repair: no fire from spark coil: Lebaron, position sensors, spark coil


Question
the  pug on the coil the green wire with brown stripe goes to relay where does the black wire with white stripe go thanks

Answer
Hi Jimmy,
I sent a reply earlier asking for the year/engine and also suggesting that you do a fault code readout*. I believe that readout will tell you that you have an issue with a sensor in the distributor. But follow that instruction and get me the flash counts. The 'black/white' wire at the coil (actually a black/gray wire) goes to pin 19 of the pcm (I assume you have the 3.0 liter v-6 engine). But I would expect you will find that wire to be patent. The most common reason for no spark is that one of the engine rotational position sensors in the distributor is not putting out a signal so the engine computer (pcm) doesn't send a drive pulse on the black/gray wire and so you don't get any spark. Let me know what you get from the code readout.

*Do a fault code readout using the ignition key:"on-off-on-off-on and leave on" doing that in 5 seconds or less elapsed time. Then watch the check engine light, which remains 'on', to see it begin to flash, pause, flash, etc. count the number of flashes before each pause. Then repeat the process to be assured of an accurate set of flash counts. Then tell me the counts in the order of appearance and we'll go from there to figure out what the code numbers are telling us that the engine computer observes to be wrong.
