I'm going nuts. I have spark to my points. They open and close. But I have no spark to my plugs.
I have a 1.8 with a 009 dist. Any thoughts? It turns over but nothing. |

QUOTE(broomhandle @ Oct 2 2012, 02:26 AM)  Yeah, coil is almost new. If you have spark at Terminal 4, but none to the plugs, it's either cap or rotor. I once had the central carbon thingie fall out of the cap. I have had rotors explode or otherwise fail. And 'almost new' is not synonymous with 'known good.' |

And 'almost new' is not synonymous with 'known good.' cap and rotor were working before. and same with coil. but i have gnomes that come in the night and mess with my 914. so agreed. and new coil is from china. so anything thats new from china dose not count. ill play around with rotor/cap and wires, and re-check my SP gaps. |
