Subject:No Spark and Buzzing Relay
From:Jeff Lincoln
Date:Mon, 26 Oct 2009 23:22:07 -0400

As I said earlier I finally have everything back togehter after an engine
transplant.

My problem is that I seem to have no spark. This was tested by connecting
the wiring that goes to the distributor to a spare distrubutor I have - then
removing the coil wire from the distributor cap and connecting it to a spark
plug. Turn the key on - and give that spare distributor a spin by hand. No
Spark - However, one of the relays in the plastic box above the coil Buzzes
loudly when I do this. It continues to buzz until I turn the key off - there
are two realys in there and it is the one to the left (when looking at the
engine from the back of the van).

This relay will buzz when everything is hooked up properly and I try to turn
the engine over as well - it doesn't buzz everytime though.

So any ideas??????
