Here is a color diagram of the distributor plug for a 1997 Nissan Sentra GA16DE:
Pin 1: Black/White wire - Ignition pulse signal Pin 2: Green/Red wire - Ignition coil power Pin 3: Black/Yellow wire - Ground Pin 4: Blue/Yellow wire - Engine speed sensor signal Pin 5: Yellow wire - Power supply Pin 6: Green/White wire - Ignition coil signal Pin 7: Red wire - Power supply
Please note that wire colors may vary depending on the specific vehicle and wiring harness. It's always recommended to double-check with a wiring diagram or a professional mechanic before making any electrical connections.
coils are normally hot when the engine is running but if it is over hot ( burn to touch) then it may be a 74.5 volt resisted coil running on 12 volts . IT may be excessive current draw through it from a faulty ignition module in the distributor or it may be just a failing coil.. Leaving an ignition on without running the engine will overheat a coil.
Follow the spark plug wires from the distributor cap, down to the block. This yahoo write up will help. If you have direct ignition (coil packs) then you will be looking for small blocks above each spark plug. Look for ignition coil packs at webites like oreillyauto.com for a visual of what you are looking for. How do you change the plugs on 98 mitsubishi montero sport Yahoo Answers
I just looked on my 86 gran fury--I have a blue and a black wire. They both run up into a combination of other wires(including the voltage regulator mounted on the firewall, the wires from the windshield washer fluid tanks, etc). This larger set of wires run along the firewall across to the driver's side. Maybe start unwrapping the wire bundles closest to the wire in question,, and you will find the broken wire end inside. If you meant the coil wire(in the center of the top of the ignition coil;it has a rubber boot on it), it goes to the center of the distributor, which is behind the air cleaner along the firewall. both wires need to be intact for the car to start.
'56 engine was likely a "blue flame" engine that had a points type ignition system. If someone installed a HEI setup in there, you need to know what year vehicle it came from. The old system used a hot wire from the ignition switch to the (+) side of an external coil...the (-) lead went to the points. The most common conversion uses the same (+) wire but it then connects to the "batt" terminal on the distributor cap.(coil is inside) There are no other wires involved except for the short harness that goes directly into the distributor that connects the coil, pickup coil and control module to each other..
check the jack pins condition, check for brakes, check the harnhes for broken wires, try an other ecm from a junked or salvage or borrowed and see if it makes any difference
I had the same problem last year mine turned out to be a crank sensor I don't know if that is your problem for sure mine wouldn't send any spark from the coil to the spark plug replaced crank sensor inside distributor and fired right up the dealership called it a cam sensor my book called it a crank sensor either way its in the distributor
