Dear all,


First I want to thank for the acceptence on this board.
I'm having issues with my E24 with a E12 based 2.8i engine L-jetronic.
I guess the engine is from 78 or 79.

I worked very hard lately to get it running howhever I'm still failing after a year of hard work on this car.
I've got a issue with (I think) my ignition coil.
Car cranks but doesn't provide a spark.
Facts I measured (ignition switched on) updated 6 Oct. 2015:

- 12v+ on the black wire running van the ECU to tachometer
- 2x 12v+ on the negative and positive points of my ignition coil

- Ignition Module; green wire (nr. 7) variable voltage
- Ignition Module; green wires (nr. 15) steady 12v+
- Ignition Module; Terminal 31d is not connected
- Ignition Module; black wires (nr. 16) steady 12v+

I measured the little resistor (the white block) and I noticed the green wire got a variable voltage so that must be connect to terminal 7 of the Ignition module.

I also noticed that it ain't getting hot.
Read somewhere it should to provide some extra energy to the coil for starting.


This is what I measured so far.
I ain't figured it out what the problem is.
In a other post I'll introduce my project.


Looks a bit dodgy but the wiring is fine.

Checking and testing...

I slightly adjusted above post with new findings and information...
It's really annoying the fact I'm so close to start the engine but yet so far away....

Dear all,


Cause I don't like unsolved cases I've bought myself an extra E12 2.8i engine complete with wiring and parts. Turns out I miss one cable.
Now I need to convert the plug and it should be ok.

This wiring harness is in perfect shape so I'm gonna switch it with my current one.

Also look for another igniter. They do fail sometimes, and this is what happens when they fail.

Was this resolved? And if so.. how did you resolve it?
