Will not start, suspected water damage to distributor.
Coil passes test (using DVM), coil module ok (checked with new one), but no spark anywhere. I'm pretty sure it is the distributor and I am in the process of removing it to see if it can be repaired (dried out), oh yeah, anyone got some tricks on how to get the harmonic balancer off?
And, in my Chilton's manual, the diagnostic tables for the ignition system (page 2-2 thru 2-4) it asks to observe the LOW RESOLUTION Signal on Tech 1 (chart 2 of 2)? Dose anyone know where/what Tech 1 is? The only thing I can come up with is that a scan tool might be needed?
Anyone know the story on why the distributors are so prone to water damage (I was having problems with the coolant system and it flooded the whole front of the block. Are there any alternatives to the OEM distributor?
Thanks for any help that can be provided,
