  • Ignition work... now car not starting

    Last Saturday I went to install my new MSD-DIS ingition. Took of the coils, rans some wires, closed things up, and when I went to start the car, and there was a loud clicking sound. It's not like the battery's dead and just won't turn over, it sounds like the ignition isn't firing at all.

    I checked all the wiring, still the clicking sound. Put everything in bypass mode, still the clicking sound. I unhooked the whole thing, took out the coil interface moduals, still the clicking sound.

    I'm stumped. As of now, nothing in the MSD ignition is hooked up at all and it still won't start. If you have any ideas what I did/what I can do to fix it, any help would be VERY appreciated.

    Okay, I've checked all the coils and plugs and there's no voltage going to the coils. My radar detector is telling me there's no low voltage, but I checked the battery and it reads 10V. The clicking is comming from a few places behind the dash, and you can hear some electrical popping through the speakers. Pretty much all the power is gone, even when I use the electrical locks the horn is barely there.

    All I did was take the coils off and put them back on. There's just no voltage going to them now. It's a sad sight, my baby just doesn't have any power left. Please help me out with whatever suggestions you have, cause I'm all out of ideas.

      If the engine doesn't turn at all then it's a starter issue, not IGN.
