Default Is my MSD 6AL bad?
Hi,
I've been having some trouble getting my car started so today I rechecked the spark.
My Optima was showing 12.8v at the beginning of the test.
I had a plug connect to a wire grounded on the manifold so I could see if I got spark. It did spark however it was yellow instead of blue. The engine almost caught a few times. After a few more tries I no longer saw any spark at all.
I put my volt meter back on the battery and it read 12.57v.

I wondering if the MSD is bad or maybe the coil. Could it be the battery?

Any help would be appreciated.
