Main relay and fuel pump work fine. I do get fuel. But i noticed that i don't get any spark. I was thinking it could be the ignition switch but the car doesn't start at all. It cranks twice then i get a loud grinding metal sound. I was thinking it was the starter...but after noticing the car not getting any spark. I don't know what the main culprit is....any suggestions????....i spent more money fixing this car than any other car i ever owned.

already searched over 20 times on this no start issue......not one really had the same problem i encountered.

OKay update on my progress with my legend nightmare......i am able to get spark....but is my starter going out??....it starts once out of 6 tries....starter cranks twice and just makes a whirring sound....is that a bad starter??

Could be a bad starter but,
could also be a weak battery or bad connection.

What did you do to get the spark????????????????????

there is a ground wire from fuse box...the copper is exposed and aged(meaning its turning green)......yeah, i think my battery is weak from so many times trying to start the car....i'll have to jump it or replace it....i'll have more time looking at it later on this evening...

Again, HOW DID YOU GET THE SPARK???

Well, today the car won't get spark anymore again...... .....after soo many problems BHG, and now electrical problems...i might as well go back to college and get a auto mechanic degree....i finally bought a ohm meter yesterday and got my helms manual back from my brother.......

i first noticed that from the fuse box in the engine bay...there is a large ground wire connecting to the tranny(By the starter)...that wire was pretty beatup and aged....i cleaned it off and electrical taped it...the car started right up....but today no spark again...so back to square one...now that i have the helms back...i'll take a look more closely and test my ignitor to see if i get any current through it....i guess i'll check all my coil packs while im on it....and recheck the ground from the fuse box....i'll let you know if i find anything....oh, and your having the same probelms huh???

 

[daoshao]
