I took the coil wire from the distributor and held it next to a ground to see if it sparks.
Yes the coil is getting 12 volts with the key on.
I'm really hoping it is the CAS in the dizzy. swap the dizzy out, and it should fix the problem.
I figured it blew up, I mean, do you know why it blew up. If the ECU failed and flooded all of the injectors, hydro locking the engine, then that might be the problem this time. Or if the alternator tweaked the hell out and overload the system frying the ECU.
Is there a working car that you could yank the ECU out of real quick to check it out. I'm not a big fan of the "laying around ECU" they can break by getting banged around. even a little bit. I mean, it is worth a shot to swap out, but I wouldn't feel comfortable ruling out the possibility of a bad ECU by using that ECU. know what I mean?
Good. Just making sure. A lot of people will say "It isn't sparking" but never actually check it to actually see if it is or isn't sparking. So 2 points for you!
if the coil is getting 12v then, at least to me, it narrows it down to either being the coil itself, the ecu, or the CAS.
