Ultimate TPI 358351 no spark from distributor (solved)
Quote from Jontteri on December 13, 2023, 3:39 amCan someone help me with this topic. I have a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am 1988 with 350 tpi and right now i have spark from coil but i don't get spark to plugs :/ do i need the stock electric spark control module? Distributor, plugs, wires and coil are all new. But even the old ones doesn't work.

Quote from Jontteri on December 30, 2023, 2:56 pmProblem solved. The white wire to the coil was connected to the tach wire from the ultimate tpi wiring harness and caused it to ground the spark when connected to distributor, i unplugged it and got it running right away.
