Reply to "Car Fails To Start - No Spark ...."

Acquire a nice long piece of 12 gauge multi-strand wire and attach alligator clips on both ends.

Hook one end of the wire to the power feed to your module & coil. Hook the other end to the battery positive terminal. Try starting the car.

Remember: if the motor starts, you'll have to disconnct the wire from the battery to shut the motor off.

The contacts inside the switch get so dirty & carboned up that the voltage drop through the switch doesn't leave enough voltage to operate the ignition module. It is possible to disassemble the switch and clean the contacts.

I prefer to bypass the switch altogether and supply the ignition through a separate relay.

That switch was designed for low current devices such as the wimpy oem radiator fans, the oem incandescent headlamps and the oem breaker point ignition. All the modern upgrades we make to our Panteras such as high air flow radiator fans, halogen headlamps and high current breakerless ignitions draw too much current for the switch, that's why we have to resort to building separate circuits for these things and supply them via high current rated relays.
