You'll get this sorted in no time Terry.

 

You know the drill: rubber gloves (mmmm Marigolds), HT lead off at plug..is there are spark? If no then do same with king lead.

 

If still no, then check for fuel (rail off and crank). Hopefully = fuel. Might as well pull a plug out and have a gander - could be sooted up.

 

If not, suspect CAS or maybe (gulp) ECU.

 

If fuel there, likely to be ign amp and/or coil.

 

Gut's telling me dizzy wiring, cap worn or grubby, or rotor arm loose or FUBARd.

 

Keep us posted geyser.

 

Maybe this could be moved into XU topic though?

Not really wantin' to go there really, (fell on my ass yesterday out in the garden, and strained my new knee joint--bloody hurt it did) puts the friggin key in, you guessed it! bloody started straight away.BYQEYthing. I'm starting to worry about the immobiliser set-up now. Lots of cut wires in odd places! lol Have to arrange a visit to my friendly auto-electrician to sort it all out. Who might supply an alternative to my old Scorpion please?

Update for you guys. Started 2-3 times last night no problem This morning ,there was a reluctance to start, but it did! Then, on the move, the engine management light came on? After getting to work, I stopped the engine and started it again and the light went out One of you are going to tell me what the problem is I'm sure.............I hope
