Hi all, Thanks for this amazing forum.
I recently got a free nonworking like200i not sure of the year.
so far I removed all the body parts to inspect, put a good strong battery and it would not crank.
tested solenoid and it was good, tested starter motor and it was fried. put new starter motor and now it cranks but wont
start. there were signs they messed with the wiring before so i found the wiring diagram and restored most of the main
cables by the battery area, red to red with 15 amp fuse, black and blue to black with 10 amp fuse, it was also missing the key switch so installed a basic 2 wire key switch on the red and black/blue, and no trusting the kill switch I installed a basic on off switch with the 2 black/blue wires.
so when checking for spark and cranking engine I get 1 and some times 2 sparks and that's all, no more spark, "checked" coil, coil cable, new spark plug,
and still the same. I then wanted to see what's going on with the injector while checking for spark so i removed injector and it also acts just like the spark while cranking it sprays once maybe twice the most and no more spraying while cranking. I have mixed feelings here about the coil but i feel like it can be the computer or something making the computer stop the spark and fuel, i tried all this tests with brake lever pressed and in both positions of the kill switch, and in both positions i get that one spark. I know about the tip over sensor and I'm not sure how to test that one. can some one look a their like200 and tell me how many wire are on your ignition key switch and what color wires are on your kill switch and start button switch, I feel I'm missing a wire here or ground or something.
what I have is red and black/blue at key switch, black/blue and black/blue for kill switch, and green and red/yellow for start switch.
another strange thing to me, when key is on ON, and kill switch off (wires not touching each other) the fuel pump relay cycles on and off and i hear the fuel pump doing the same, and when the kill switch is ON ( both cables touching each other) I hear the fuel pump just for 2 seconds and then goes off. but remember I get the 1 spark symptom with kill switch on either side.
on the wiring diagram that I found for like200i I don't see a kill switch and black/blue wires, so I need help to confirm this switches wiring.
Thanks for your help guys.
