Electronic Ignition Problem
« on: July 24, 2005 - 02:43:00 PM »
Need some help, Challenger quit running after a 20 minute drive and would not restart. I replaced the ballast and the orange box ECU with known good ones. During the drive felt like it had a miss. The problem is I have no spark from the coil until your turn the key back to the lock position. I believe it is the ignition switch , but could use some other input.
When your driving a Mopar , Everything else is just a blur!

probably in the dist , check the gap & test the pick up for continuity at the connector to see if the pick up has failed
