richors 0 Posted November 18, 2006 Hi - A couple of questions.......... I have just put a 1.6 gearbox onto an Mi engine and i now have no spark......... I noticed the TDC sensor on the gearbox is 1 - Knackered and 2 - Possibly too short? So - will a sensir that is nbg create a spark problem? and does the 1.6 box require a different sensor to the Mi gearbox? can't think of anything else as i didn't disturb anything else electrical.............any help would be much appreciated cheers.

dee205 3 Posted November 18, 2006 Is it plugged in properly? Clean both plugs as a bad connection is as bad as none. You won't get spark or fuel if you don't have a working tdc if I'm not mistaken as this tells the ecu when to bang and squirt, so to speak. Damien Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
richors 0 Posted November 19, 2006 Hopefully a new one will fix it then - doesn't smell like fuel is getting there either as per your comment. thanks for the help Mark. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ren 0 Posted November 20, 2006 Get the sensor from Ciroen mate, I went to a couple of Pug dealers and was told it was no longer available. Citroen got me one for the following day though. It was around £60. Ren. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mi16nut 0 Posted November 20, 2006 I tried to fit an early 1.6 box & found that the tdc hole had a too small diameter & the casing was a fair bit thicker. I guess I could have modified it to fit my sensor by grounding out the diameter & grinding down the casing to match my existing exactly, but I didn't bother. As said, the sensor must be 1mm from the flywheel. Anything more & it won't signal properly. Mark. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
