4.0 auto not getting spark. CPS is good, grounds are good. The coil is putting out voltage to the distributor..I'm confused.
Those two statements contradict each other.4.0 auto not getting spark. CPS is good, grounds are good. The coil is putting out voltage to the distributor..I'm confused.
IF the "power" is enough to jump a 1/8th inch gap and give you a crisp blue spark, you're losing the power between mechanical parts.Coil wire-to-cap connection? Rotor-to-center post connection? Rotor-to-wire terminal gap? Plug wires-to-cap connections?Ok..there is power from the coil to the distributor...but the plug wires get nothing.

I cleaned all the grounds, and replaced the strap at the back of the head. Even if there was a bad ground, I don't see why it would only have issues cold and not warm.Did you clean ALL the GROUNDS? These 89 are bad for not working right..TEST all ground too
New distributor cap, rotor, wires...I don't get why it wouldn't work.
I am 100% positive it's the right onecap and rotor changed in '94-- make sure the parts you got match the old AND are for an '89. It's always possible that they were previously sold and returned in the wrong box.
