Re: 1980 633CSi No Spark
Sorry for not having more info and any pictures. The car is now my son's and he and his electrician friend have been spending nights working on it. I have been tied up working with my scout troop and all of the gear in our troop trailer. He found multiple grounding issues. The biggest culprit for th...

Re: 1980 633CSi No Spark

Re: 1980 633CSi No Spark
Can you jump the fuel pump through the combo relay and get it to run? I had a similar problem in 2010 and it was a bad combo relay. After we rewire the fuel injectors we will look closer at the combo relay. Where is the best place for these types of parts (mostly electrical)? I have purchased from ...

Re: 1980 633CSi No Spark
On a side note, some idiot decided the instrument gauge housing didn't need the plastic/glass screen (main cluster with speedo/tach etc.). Not sure how you replace that (source a used instrument housing?). Maybe I start a new thread for this issue... I'll wait until we get it running. Cheers! Riley

Re: 1980 633CSi No Spark
To catch everyone up here is where we are at... Vehicle would turn over but not start when we got it back. First checked to see if fuel was getting to engine by disconnecting main fuel line leading to engine (vehicle started by spraying starter fluid into intake) and found bad fuel pump (replaced). ...

Re: 1980 633CSi No Spark
That relay box was loose when we got the car back. I wonder if that is the culprit! Will check on it and advise.
Thanks!!!

Re: 1980 633CSi No Spark
Where is the combo relay? Sometime in the last 12 years someone decided to throw away the fuse box cover I bought so we do not have a diagram of what fuse/relay is what. The cap and rotor look functional. Since we are not getting any sign of power coming out of the coil, we haven’t really looked too...

Re: 1980 633CSi No Spark
Thanks! My son found the crank sensor and it is covered in grime and oil from a leak. Going to try and clean that and then if no love we will go over what you have suggested. I will post up the progress and hopefully solution.
Cheers!

1980 633CSi No Spark
My son just purchased the 1980 633CSi that I had 12 years ago and she is pretty beat up. We are going to bring her back to original glory but for now just trying to get her to run. There is no spark at the plugs. We have power to the starter, a direct wire going to the ballast resistor, then to the ...

Re: Finally back home.
You have no idea how cool it will be for my son to see the original window sticker. He has a 1986 Toyota Corolla Trueno (AE86) drift car that he has the original window sticker for and has it framed.
Thanks again Bob!
Thanks again Bob!

Thanks Bob! She is looking as good as ever!
My son is asking how many of the Cypress Green 6s made it over here in the US?

Finally back home.
I sold my 1980 Cypress Green 633CSi 12 years ago and have regretted it ever since. My son was perusing craigslist and came across one that looked familiar and sent me the link. Knowing that there are not many Cypress Green e24s I was pretty sure it was mine. He haggled with the owner and we picked i...
