My Hyster H50FT has the GM Vortec 2400 Motor. I have had a forklift mechanic out for over 4 hours at this point. We have replaced the spark plugs, wires and the coil (since then we have also replaced the las section of harness leading to the coil). The coil has no spark coming out of the 1 and 4 connectors. No check engine light or codes. - checked the camshaft sensor, it checked out. I would think a bad crankshaft sensor would throw a code.
I am leaning now that there might be a problem with the computer
Does anyone know how to troubleshoot the harness to see if I am losing signal to one side of the coil?

Jeremy,
Check wire 850 from ECU connector 205 pin M4 to connector CPS241 pin B. From there check to ignition module connector CPS217 pin B. This wire is for cylinder 1 and 4. Resistance in wire should be.5 ohms or less. Make sure connection at the ECU is making good contact. Should you not find the problem, a serial number would help. Thanks.
Replaced the last section of harness to the tune of $360 and no change. I am ready to drive this thing on 2 cylinders to the scrap yard next door. Does anyone else have some suggestions?
How can I troubleshoot this harness?
Thank you yes we are replacing the last section of the harness before the coils, hopefully that solves it.
It appears that the spark going to 1 and 4 is extremely weak to nonexistant compared to 2 and 3
Skyreach,
Engine harness has been known to fail on these engines. You loose signal power to the coils inside the harness. If you are still having problems, repair or replace the harness. Good Luck.
check for a good engine earth strap from body to engine and battery to body maybe if not coil
