I have a 98 200sx and the car flooded. i put a new motor in and the only things that stayed the same was the trans the mass air and the distributor . the car does not have any spark.I checked the ecu ,its good . I can jump the coil and make it spark but still the cars dist seems to have no power.Please help and thanks in advance.

i would look at your distributor a little more closely.....



when you say flooded im assuming it was stuck in water?


if you flood a F.I. motor you have more a serious problem

What are some of the things to check on the dist.
and do you mean you cant short out the sensors with the flood because i sure hydrolocked the #4 cyl.

are we talking your car was sitting in 4 feet of water or are we talking your car got too much gas (flood)?

ok, i was under the impression that you thought you had 'flooded' your car with gas ,

check the ignition control module.

sometimes even a bad coil wire will cause it.

you said the coil can produce a spark, what color is it? your looking for a white-blueish spark, if its red or orange, then you have a bad coil.

to be honest, im not sure. i know on fords, it is screwed onto the distrib. on my E16I i think its actually part (built into) the distributor. call the dealer and ask them where it is....dont give em your credit card number tho LoL
