1982 244 DL No Start 200

Hello,

If you have an 82 K-Jet (CIS) with a white distributor cap and do not get a spark, please read my old attached posting below, it might help:

I have an 82 MPG with Chrysler ignition (white distributor cap) and it does not have a Ballest resistor. The voltage comes from fuse post 11 (hot side) to a 2 plug connector on the passenger firewall (blue wire) and then it goes to the coil term #15 (brown wire) via a 1 plug connector. I have had two occasions in the last ten years were that connectors has corroded out and blocked the 12volts to the coil. When I cleaned the connectors, the car ran great. This connector is located were the ballest used to be according to my Volvo green book. Find that connector and clean it up. It seems to be a problem unique to 82.In addition the brown wire runs to the starter terminal before it gets to the coil so might want to check that terminal also. Attached is a link with a photo of the connector. Hope that helps.

Mario
