hman205 1 Posted January 17, 2007 Was driving along and suddenly just lost the spark any ideas what would cause such a sudden faliure dont appear to be getting an output from the coil Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anthony 1,003 Posted January 17, 2007 Are the injectors firing when cranking (crank it over with the plugs out and you'll see the fuel vapour being fired out of the cylinder), as that'll give you a good idea of where the fault is. If the injectors are still working, then try the ignition amp and coil (I'm assuming you've put a sparkplug on the kinglead and checked for spark, thus bypassing the dizzy cap etc). If the injectors aren't working, check the main ECU relay is switching, check you're seeing a 12v ignition feed, and try another crank sensor. Give that a go Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hman205 1 Posted January 18, 2007 Defo Fueling as it stinks of fuel when cranking so guess it must be amp coil or wiring in that area! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeremy 70 Posted January 18, 2007 I'm not sure if this will be relvant to you as it is a 16V motor and mines a standard 8V, however I found that the wire was rubbing on the drivers inner wing that went from the amplifier to the coil thus short circuiting. One new coil and a bit of insulation tape problem solved. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
