Hey Guys I am new to rangers. But I work on ALOT of hondas. I got a 1992 2.3l 4wd ranger when I got it I had to replace the egr and the dis modual. I been driving the truck for about 3 weeks now. I went out this morning to start the truck it ran for like 30 seconds and shut off. It does have fuel and the fuel pump is working. I did a code scan and got these results


New codes are
218 (M) IDM signal open or high or left coil pack failure - Ignition Systems
223 (M) Dual Plug (DPI), SPOUT or IDM circuit fault - Ignition Systems
224 (M) Failure in ignition coil primary circuit - Ignition Systems


I checked the rear coil it is firing on all 4 plugs and the plugs are firing BUT the front coil is dead. I put a backup coil on it and it still was dead. I put my backup dis modual on it and no help there either. If someone could help that would be great I really need this truck by 10pm and the shops around here have at a minimum a 5 day wait (plus its a arm and a leg) Any help guys?
Also it has been raining pretty bad here the last few days

 

I'm not sure what the problem is but at some point some of the more elecrical system knowledgeable people should response. So I'll bump this post for ya.

ok actually I have a buddy on his way over that can get ,e stuff from a yard lol :) The old modual I had wouldnt fire the rear coil this other one i got used was fine for 3 weeks then like i said today it started and just died off after 3-5 seconds. I will check to see if i can have mine tested so i can see it fail lol

 

i agree with 5speed. just had this same problem and it was the ignition module. that link he posted for ya was my dilemma...lol.

 

double post sorry

 

Yea and if i remember correctly if the front coil doesnt work the truck wont start hence why i have spark at the rear coil and no run. I am clearing the codes and getting a fresh code list just in case there is a old fault in there,

 

my backup modual tested bad the one that was on the truck when it stalled tested good. 10 tests all good. I put it back onm the truck still no fire out the front coil The rear coil is working off of all 4 plugs. I tested the tan/blue stripe wire out of the Dis and it is dead also, I dont know what wire to check next.

 

Well I went out there today and the truck has been on the road one night and they ripped out my stero busted my dash to hell.. Anyone know how to test a crank position sensor? Please i need help with my luck there gonna steal my bald *** tires tonight.,
