Re: Need some help

Posting 4 times won't get you help any quicker than posting once. Were you not getting spark to begin with, before replacing your dizzy? Are you currently getting fuel? Is your "new" dizzy an aftermarket item or did you pull it from the yard? What car do you have and what motor?

I took care of the reposts. Be a little more patient, if your browser messed up during the process, just wait a minute and check and see if it was posted before you hit the button again.

Pull off one of your spark plug wires and hold it up against a ground bolt on the valve cover. Have someone crank the car and you should be able to see a tiny spark flow through the end of the wire.

Re: Need some help

Are you sure it was a code sixteen? one LONG blink and 6 QUICK blinks right? If you're not getting spark, try replacing the coil inside your distributor.
