Bennett Built Ignition Upgrade Problems
 

Hey guys,


I've tried to get the BennetBuilt ignition kit installed but the car will now not start. Was running fine before this. We have made sure all the coils are connected to the correct plugs and gone through the ECU reset etc. But still no luck.

Does anyone have any advice on this? The only thing were not 100% sure on is if the harness adapters are wired up correctly. We've followed the instructions and connected the longest one to the front bottom coil as explained in the instructions etc. But still nothing. I've added the photos incase anyone can see something else!

Each of the leads does have a different colourd wire. (Green, white, yellow/green and white/blue) does anyone know which order they are connected to the ignition coils in? Photos below.

Do you have spark?
Do you have power to the coils? You may have blown the fuse?
Is it grounded properly?
Hooked up in wrong order? Follow the OEM wires to the coils.... should be the same as stock from coils to plugs

Flooded?

There are a few too many potentials to diagnose it on the web

can't tell if the coil ground wire is connected to negative battery terminal.

Yes he is grounded to the battery. His engine fuse is prob blown. Ground the coils out on the crossmember under the intake box. I had exact problem with my Bennet built kit.

Thanks for the info guys, was flooded in the end. Had to replace the battery and go through the deflood proceedure about 312 times over 4 days, but finally got there!
