My e23 does not start even though it tunes over fine. Did some test and found that their is no spark from the center terminal of the coil, also fuel present at injector manifold. Replaced the pulse generater by the flywheel but no success. Any help will be appreciated.


Had exact same problem on my '86 last year. problem turned out to be a failing main relay located on right firewall, just ahead of cowl area. If it has never been replaced, it's due.
Good Luck,

Tom M in PA
