View Full Version : gsi engine starting problems
today ive been helping a mate do the finishing touches to his gsi lump swap. all was going fine until we tested for a spark!! now when your turning it over there is nothing yet as soon as you let go of the key you get one spark:confused: . this has got me a little confused and would like some surgestions as to what it might be
thank you please

sounds like coil wiring
sounds like coil wiringon the gsi lump though you just plug the coil in so how can it be wrong
what about the switched live feed?
could be wired to a non cranking live, when letting off the key, its getting power? hence the spark then?
probably aint right, but just a sugestion?

It wouldn't happen to be a 1L originally would it ;)
Fit a proper switched live, its the 1L resistor wire causing your problems.

try connecting your main live feed to the coil to direct to the battery and test it if it works then you have got the coil live feed connected to a non cranking live (when you turn the ignition on it will be live but when u crank it over it will go dead)
