No Spark

Post by si1856 »

I was running the car ready for Mot and it just cut out. No spark. Tested the volts into the amplifier and ok. Nothing out though, no voltage spike. Bought a replacement off an internet site plugged it in, still nothing. Is there a fuse that could have gone. I’m thinking it could be a cheap unit that’s faulty? Thoughts - please help it’s booked in again this Friday

Could be just about anything, coil, distributer, leads, plugs. If you are getting power to the coil but nothing to the distributer there a few things to check

All sorted. Required new coil as it had burnt out on the positive terminal frying the connectors and Amplifier. Starts on the button and it’s just passed the MOT - Woohoo!!!
