No spark questions, and have questions

[Tofast4U]

I replaced my Cap and Rotor an Now have No spark. So after troubleshooting tonight I still have no spark and more questions.

I have power at the coil, I have power coming out of Coil.
No spark coming out of coil
No voltage at the Pickup coil. (Should I have Voltage at the Pickup coil????) I have 0 on volt meter. I would think you should get some readings.
Checked my fuses they are good.
checked my connections.
Electronic module had some corrosion on the pins, cleaned them up.

Any other idea's?

Did you remember to swap the ground strap?

Make, model, year and engine?
Stock ignition?

Like DRIVEN said plus the little springy thing in the center of the cap

If everything is there put the old one back on see if it starts

87 monte SS with vortec 350. Where is that ground strap located? still using Stock ecm and the electrical.

Sandwiched between the coil and cap. Often gets overlooked when replacing cap and rotor. New caps don't have them installed so you have to pull it from the old one and swap it over.

Vortec distributor or coil in cap?

Could be the HEI control module, I had them crap out on me many times they can be finicky and can quit without a notice, so I always keep a spare one on hand. If you are getting no spark but its turning over, I would try replacing the module and don't forget the thermal paste on the base of it or it will over heat and won't last long.

If he had to ask where it was, I'm betting he didn't swap it. I think you nailed it.

My Rotor didn't have that part... Had Bad pickup coil on the distributor. Replaced with all new and runs better then ever... Thanks for the replies.
