I have a '91 Laser 1.8. I pulled in the driveway, shut it off, tried to start it, and it wouldn't start. This happened about a week before this but it then started to run again. Now it's been two weeks and I definitely have no spark.
I have checked all of the wires; visually inspected the ECU for leaky caps, burn marks, bad smells and it looks like brand new; and replaced the distributor. I even bought a coil.....not realizing that on the '91 1.8 the coil is in the distributor...........whew...saved me $220 !!! I thought that was kinda high for a coil but didn't realize at the time it was a coil pack.
I've searched the archives here and the only thing I haven't done that has been mentioned is to check all of the fuses.
I'm not positive but I don't think the CE light comes on when powering up the ignition. This is a sign of a bad ECU?
Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated !!!:(
Thanks !!
