Default no spark unless battery is almost dead

i have had to go through the entire wiring system and replaced the ecu, plug wires, ignition module, distributor, and main power relay. when the battery is fully charged and its cranking good...no spark, but when the battery starts to lose juice and it dont crank so good, i got a good spark with a spark tester. anybody else have an idea?

Default Re: Bad CPS

I have checked the cam and crank position sensors with a test led and I am getting good signals from both, I had to take out the lc filter and capacitor between the coil and ignition module off because they were corroded and have not been able to find a replacement for them. i am also having to get a new connector for the distributor because the old one is shot. putting a 6g72 sohc in an 87 raider, and i got a rats nest of wires and cant find a complete engine wiring harness anywhere.

Default My 1998 Montero has a similar problem. No spark to distributor

Hi I have a 1998 montero sport 4 cylinder I just bought the car and now the alternator belt broke causing the vehicle to die. I put a new belt on and in the process had to move the other belts temporarily. now I have it put back together and I am afraid something else is messed up. it cranks but wont start. It is not getting spark to the distributor.. it is getting fuel. Can somebody help me?
