this one is driving me nuts, tried a replacement module, checked the
reluctor, checked the ignition switch, all test out okay . After
sitting a couple hours it will not fire with the key in the start
position, I let off and catch it it on the run circuit to get it
started and then it works fine on the start circuit till it cools off.
Any ideas?
Thanx,
John |

Sounds like the clearance on something is too great. When the engine heats
up everything expands and closes the gap. Dont just check the component, but
the clearances as well. That reluctor you are talking about is required to
be a certain distance from the pickup in the distributor, and if its not,
the ign module wont get the correct signal, and you wont have fire.

Meter the + side of the coil while in the start position - it should read close to
12 volts , then when in the run position it should drop back to 9 volts.
The wires connected to the ballast resistor ( ? reluctor? ) go to/from the
switch and the + side of the coil, the brown w/pink wire bypasses the resistor
when the ignition switch is in the start position and gives a higher voltage
to the coil.

What is the battery voltage while cranking? >> Stay informed about: 1982 f150 will not fire cold on the start circuit. |

Is there a 'low brake' indicator on when cranking the starter?
It 'looks' to me there's a "kill spark" if that switch is made,
which isn't included in the on/run position.
