I am still having issues with my car. I really think with the advice of people here that the dizzy is to blame. I can borrow one from a VW bus with the injector contacts and just vacume retard. Are they too different for trouble shooting purposes? Is there anyone in the Calgary area that could lend me one for 20 minutes?
Thanks

The D-Jet dizzys are esentially all the same except for the advance curves and possibly the vac can. For troubleshooting it would be fine to use assuming the FI trigger points are good.

I could send one from California but the Canadian customs people hate "gifts", they don't make any beer money.

I will give it a try. Thanks for the thought.

So does this mean that you can run a 1.7 dizzy in a 2.0 or a 2.0 in a 1.7 ? I've got a 2.0 with 2.0 vac can in my 1.7 right now.

Uh, Buses never came with injector points. They were all AFC.
So I hope that's not a bus dizzy in the bus you're talking about.
411/412 maybe (I wouldn't know)
FI Type 3's had them.

I think I have 3 d-jet dizzy's you can borrow...2-2.0 and 1-T3. Don't know the condition of them though.
