Jetta 3 1.6i no spark

Post by Junaid85 »

Good day

My Jetta 3 1.6i does not have spark.
I noticed that the black wire connected to the 3pin coil has + current. When i crank the engine it loses current.
Some instances when i switch my acc on it sparks ( i connnect a plug onto the wire from coil to distributor) and when i switch off my acc it sparks.
I also have a wires buzing noise from the back of my cluster and all function on it is disrupted when i switch on my acc. My ODO numbers also becomes (0U000).
What could be the cause.
Your reply will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

It's because without seeing the car it is anybodies guess as to what the problem is. It can be hall generator in the dissy, it can be the ignition switch (which should not have an acc setting and it will not have spark during the acc setting if it does) - it could be some or the other completely other electrical fault like bad earths. etc etc.
it could be the tp100, it 'could' be anything.
these type of things you take a volt meter and you start testing what has power and what does not and figure it out from there. Nobody is going to magically just know sadly.

You're a real a$$hole, aren't you? And a cheeky one at that!

Probably a millenial that's still got a lot to learn!
