If there is no spark:
A. Inspect all of the wiring.
B. Substitute another coil and repeat the test. If there is now spark, the coil is at fault.
C. If there is still no spark, check to make sure there is 12 volts on the small Red wire from the
MSD when the key is in the "On" position. If 12 volts is not present, find another switched 12 volt
source and repeat the test.
D. If, after following the test procedures and inspecting all of the wiring, there is still no spark, the
MSD Ignition is in need of repair. See the Warranty and Service section for information.
If there is no spark, but the LED flashes, check for a coil problem.
The following wiring diagrams illustrate numerous installations on different vehicles and applications.
