Will a jumped timing belt cause me to only get one impulse signal coming out of the igniter to the coil pack?

Asked by Christy7373 May 06, 2014 at 10:42 PM about the 1991 Subaru Legacy L Wagon AWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I've done EVERYTHING the book
says and everything you told me to
do and I still only get one control
signal out of the igniter from one wire
and not the other. My test light only
flashes when I turn the key from on
to off. Every sensor is good and so is
the igniter, the ECM is good and I
have continuity in my wires!! I'm
stumped. PLEASE HELP. THANK
YOU.

Yep it was a jumped timing belt, crank sensor and cam sensor were out of sync therefore causing only one side if the igniter to give power to one side of the coil.
