SINCE I HAVE INSTALLED THE IGNITOR THE ENGINE WON’T START. WHAT CAN I CHECK?

The first step in troubleshooting involves answering a few questions.

  • Do you have the correct kit for your application?
  • Did the Ignitor install without any modification?
  • Was the Ignitor installed according to the instructions?
  • Did the engine run prior to the installation of the Ignitor?

If you answered “NO” to any of the previous questions, go back and correct the condition before proceeding. (Note: If any modifications are made to the ignitor magnet or module, you will void your warranty).
If the answer to these questions is “YES”, then review some additional common solutions to a no start condition.

  • The position in which the Ignitor red wire is attached to is not supplying sufficient voltage. (See ‘Misfiring’ point above for ‘Voltage Testing’ tips)
  • The air gap between the module and magnet sleeve is too great.
  • The ground wire inside the distributor is not connected.
  • The wire connections are not tight.
  • The polarity is not correct.
