datsun4x4720 Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 My 1981 720 KC 4x4 is not getting spark when the key is turned but wen I turn the key off it gets spark. What could that be? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Presumably it starts? then shuts off when you release the key? So how do you know you have spark when turned off if not running? More info needed here.... Quote Link to comment
datsun4x4720 Posted August 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 It starts when the key is released after a few trys. When I got it started it was idling at or around 1600 rpm. I tried to take it for a test drive and it wanted to die every time I gave it gas. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Probably a worn ignition switch. There should be power to the coils in start and run. Quote Link to comment
OneFreakyMF Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 My rig had the exact same issue when I first got it and it was the ignition switch... Quote Link to comment
