No spark for hot start - '90 200tqw

[Jörgen Karlsson]

I think that it is one of the crank triggers, I had the exact same problem
on mine. After I loaned the trigger console with both triggers from a friend
it worked.

You may also want to check that the cam and distributor timing is right,
rumors say that the sync trigger must be properly aligned. Otherwise the
engine will not switch on the spark. If you loosen the distributor and turn
it a little in either direction you will either disable the ignition even
when the engine is cold or you will get rid of the problem. I don't think
that this is the problem.
