Help, I own a 1986 Subaru XT, it has good compression, and Ice cold air, at least when it starts. Which was not an issue until yesterday. I checked the spark, and there is none. The timing belt is in tact, rotor spins, but no spark at coil. I tried a new coil, but that did not help.

I read somewhere, the problem may be the resistor thats extenal to the coil? where can I find it and what resistance should i measure at it?

Please help.

I live in Florida, and my alternate transportation has serious AC Problems that i will post at a later date.

Thanks in advance,
Bill, burning up in the Grand Am

Moving this to Subaru to get it a little bit more noticed...

good idea... it just gets ignored on a g20 board!

i know this is waaaaaaaaaaaay too late but i had a simialr problem with my 87 turbo

first of all it was a faulty alternator that was overchargin and it would start, although barely and ruined a battery and ran very badly

then i had an alternator that was undercharging and ran the battery flat and wouldn't start

then i fixed those and i had distributor problems the centre plug wasn't connected probably, it was simple and it took me ages to find it

dunno if your prob is/was that simple though
