5.0 mustang
Whats up I just installed an edelbrock victor efi on my 89 mustang and having problems. Thers no spark going from the ignition coil to the distributor. I changed the coil and upgraded to a mallory ignition coil and also changed the starter solenoid. I also replaced my starter and still no engine start. i know my timing might be off but i know theres something else wrong i need some help as soon as possible cuz my car has been sitting there for about a month and cant figure out whats wrong.

this may be a bit of an obvious suggestion, but sometimes its that simple. are you sure everything is hooked up correctly? coil wires not switched around? (this was cause of my old c-10 not running due to no spark for the longest time because i didnt even think about something so obvious)

more info please.......why did you change the coil??? why did you change the selonoid?? was all this done in an attempt to correct a no start condition?? no start and no crank are two seperate issues....so does it crank but won't start?? or just plain won't crank, therefore it won't start???

there was a short circuit, the green wire that hooked up to the possitive side of the solenoid burned out thats why i replaced the solenoid and ign. coil. Its two wires a black with orange and a green wire. they both join to one wire. so when i replaced the burned wire my car started to crank. Im not sure if maybe my spark wires burned out too I thought id wait and try to start it first before buying new ones

the black is hot i think on the coil and green and orange are ground and goes to the tach drive also i believe! cant remember been so long since i have looked there!
