My 74 1.8 quit on me yesterday. I've narrowed it down to no ignition power. The gas gauge and indicator lights don't respond to the key switch being on. The starter will turn over and the fuel pump is running. I've checked the fuses under the dash on the left side and they all seem good. I'm headed over to where it has been towed to work on it later but there is limited internet access there. I would like to gather any info I can before I head out.
Thanks for your interest. |

Check the wires on the coil. There should be at least three. One big black on one side and two smaller ones on the other side, one black with a purple stripe and a green (or whatever color comes fron the condensor on the distributor).
