Laurence Koelmeyer Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Hi there I've recently installed a 3sge with a lem G3, fired it up today and it is only running on 2 cylinders. Cylinders 2 & 3 appear to have no spark?? the engine runs but very wrough as it is not tuned at all ( only 2 cylinders as well). Would anyone have any suggestion as to why i don't have a spark to thos 2 cyliners. Could it be an ignition setup problem? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dave Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Have you wired it correctly ? Have you entered the number of cylinders and the firing order of the engine ? is it distributed, wasted spark or individual coils ? is this setup correctly ?

Laurence Koelmeyer Posted January 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 I belive its wired correctly, its a distributor set up using a link single channel ognitor. The engine will run on 2 cylinders so an\m confused why I'm not getting a spark on clyinders 2&3. Could the cap and rotor be at fault? they are the original parts that cam with the engine (I presume it ran before). Regarding the ignition tables is there some thing there that will tell the ignitor when to switch for each cylinder? thanks laurence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dave Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 you will need to check that the correct cylinders are selected and that the firing order is correct for your engine Has your base timing been checked and calibrated Has the ecu been setup as distributed Regards David Heerdegen [email protected] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurence Koelmeyer Posted January 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 what do you mean by correct cylinders selected, the firing order is 1342 and the based timing has been set to 10", ECu set as distributed with single channel ignitor driven from ign drive 1. any other thoughts? thanks laurence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
