Apologies for a possible repeat of others' ignition issues. I've searched the entire forum under "ignition," "igniter," etc. and still don't know what to do.
My 1989 22R carb Yota pickup with 170,000 miles cranks fine but does not fire up. The coil is receiving 12 v and checks out as good, according to ohms in primary and secondary circuit. The question is that expensive igniter assembly?
Before I deal with that, is there something else I should be checking. Fuses look good. I checked the coil by cranking it and holding the main cable close to the motor--no spark!
I'm thinking the distributor may have more of a role to play than I understand. Does power go through the distributor first and then to the igniter and coil and then back? I'm not too clear about ignition circuitry. Can someone explain the role the ignition key plays--I know it allows power from the battery to go to the starter, but what are the other wires for?
Thanks for any help!
