    Default not getting spark [UPDATE: I'm getting spark now/ Not getting fuel]

    Ok so my car isn't getting spark,

    at first i thought i lost the prime in my fuel line but that wasn't it.
    I was riding on E on the highway, drove to the next exit, pulled up to the pump, let the car cool down for a minute (and the car died like 15 seconds later) after good idling, etc... wouldnt start back up....figured whatever so i put in some more gas... put it on IG for a min... tried starting it... starion fuel pumps give fuel based on ignition input so it only primes for like a second on the ON position... so i put 12V to the pump... let it prime for a good 30 seconds.... still no startey... took off the fuel return line, put 12V on, squirted into a coke can.... yup i'm getting fuel... my ecu doesnt control ig timing, so ... yeah


    so I checked for spark, no spark.....
    (heres my ignition setup)
    MSD 6AL (with 6000 pill)
    MSD BTM
    msd blaster 2 coil
    starion dizzy with dodge caravan ignition module (for the MSD)

    so I changed out the coil with a brand new one, still no spark

    Put a tester on the + and - of the MSD coil, put the key on ON position, no voltage, (is it supposed to read voltage on ON position, or only while cranking/running?)

    did i mention that my starter is fucked up.... makes shit harder to test.

    Anyways I dunno what it can be, i got my MSD box brand new, i'd say theres less than 1k miles on it, the BTM has like 200 miles on it?, the coil was brand new with the MSD box,

    gonna check the dizzy cap and button, but i put in new ones maybe 1k miles ago... but its worth a shot... but its wierd, the car went from idling perfect to shutting off to me having to tow it a mile to my house and never starting back up.

    Anyone have any ideas, or have an extra MSD box we can swap out for a minute to diagnose, I dont want to buy another one bc once its open you can't return it.


    ^thats EXACTLY how i wired it
