Why do I not have a spark plug in my ignition?
Why do I not have a spark plug in my ignition?
If you do not have a good spark in all wires then you may have an electrical problem in your ignition system. Locate your distributor cap. The distributor is responsible for taking the high voltage generated in the ignition coil and passing it on to the spark plugs in a synchronized pattern.
What to do when your engine has no spark?
Insert a spark plug tester into the plug boot and ground it on a piece of metal on the engine. Finally, Have someone crank the engine and watch for spark. Remove one of the coils from the spark plug. Use an extra spark plug. A spark plug tester. Or even a screwdriver in the end of the coil.
How do you remove a spark plug from a car?
Use an insulated tool to lift the wire off the plug, one at a time. Now the whole wire and the coil that supplies it is loaded. Use a jumper wire to ground an insulated screwdriver. Gently drag the screwdriver down the length of each spark plug wire, around the coil, and the boots.
How to know if you have a spark problem in your car?
Have someone crank the engine and watch for a spark. If you have a good spark on all wires look for timing problems or other issues. If you do not have a good spark in all wires then you may have an electrical problem in your ignition system. Locate your distributor cap.

What should I do if my spark plug is not working on my golf cart?
Yamaha G16 Golf Cart Ground the threaded portion of the spark plug that is connected to the engine. Crank the engine and check for spark. If there is no spark, unplug the white plug with blue and black wires that are at the bottom of the engine under the valve cover.

How can I tell if my ignition coil has no spark?
If you see no spark, the coil is a good thing to suspect next. You’ll need a digital multimeter to check the resistance levels of your coil. The side terminals of the coil are marked positive (+) and negative (–) and these are where you can measure the resistance of the primary windings.
Where does the spark come from in the ignition coil?
This high voltage is required to overcome the greatest KV requirement in the secondary (normally the spark plug gap) this high voltage is transmitted from the coil to the spark plugs through a coil wire, dist cap, rotor and spark plug wires. Component Test Meter can be used to view secondary ignition waveforms.
What to do if there is no spark at the ignition coil?
Check for voltage output at the ignition coil. Disconnect the ignition coil wire from the distributor and install the spark tester to the wire and ground the tester to the engine. Crank the engine for a few seconds. If there’s spark, the problem is with the distributor cap or rotor.
What causes a car engine to have no spark?
If only one or a few cylinders have a weak or no spark, the problem is in the secondary side of the system. Check for worn or damaged spark plug wires, worn or faulty distributor cap.
How does a spark get to the spark plug?
Primary windings create a magnetic field that when collapsed across secondary windings, create high voltage. This high voltage is required to overcome the greatest KV requirement in the secondary (normally the spark plug gap) this high voltage is transmitted from the coil to the spark plugs through a coil wire, dist cap, rotor and spark plug wires.
