MidnightOil Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 I have a 1990 240sx ka24e SOHC and the car has no spark and I think I know the issue but I want some thoughtson the distributor there is clearly the four wires that go to a connecter and that's plugged in. But at the bottom base of the distributor where the wires go in theres a single small rectangle tab that looks to need a connector. That is not there, dose something need to be plugged into it do you know if that needs to be plugged in to something or would cause a no spark condition ?I cant find any thing on this little connector and figured to ask herealso any idea where I can post this on this site to ask for help from others ?? any help would be extremely appreciated Example of tab -----> http://www.carsteeri...-40F10-Map1.jpgthat little gold tab thank YOU ALL FOR READING Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 It's a ground lug. Find the wire that fell off or make a new one. Must be well grounded. 3 Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 Those little tabs aren't always connected to a wire, but usually are. What Mike said, find wire ore make a new one. Quote Link to comment

q-tip Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 Arc the coil wire on some metal that is grounded and crank the engine. Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 how would i test the spark at the coil ? With this, go on earth do you even know you don't have spark? Spark at coil? Yes? Do you have spark leaving the distributor to plugs? Spark at coil? No? Do you have 12V at coil (+) and continuity to ground at coil (-)? Quote Link to comment
