i have an escort rs turbo 1991, some electrical fault wiv the ignition coil (no spark) replaced the ignition coil therefore must be an electrical fault, any common problems or any ideas where i should look???? thnx oh and this may help got it to work once somehow just started and sparked ok weird!???

 

Switch the ignition on, then connect a multimeter switched to volts between a good earth and one of the terminals of the coil, followed by the other terminal of the coil and earth. What voltages do you get? Also connect a test lamp between the two terminals of the coil and get someone to crank the engine. This will tell you if the coil is being switched. Do this first....

Kind regards
