Hello everybody.
Can anyone please help? Im having trouble with my series 1
Everything was all fine until one morning i got in it and no start
So first things first check for fuel: yep got that so check for spark: Nope no spark so off to ford garage and replace: coil, plugs, leads, dizzy cap, and arm. still no spark . any ideas? this is driving me nuts.
Thanks for any advice.
Cheers mark

 

Have you got 12v feed to coil should come for ignition switch?

 

with ignition on volt meter reads 12v between black wire(+ side of coil) and earth but nothing off green wire (- side) not much of an expert with car electrics

 

Ignition module ok?

 

Where do i find the module and how can i test it?

 

The electronic control for the ignition system. The module receives a signal from a magnetic pickup or Hall effect sensor in the distributor. The module uses this signal to open and close the ground circuit to the ignition coil to fire the spark plugs. The ignition module itself may be located inside the distributor (GM and some imports), on the distributor housing (some Ford applications) or in the engine compartment. Some modules also control timing advance and retard. If a module goes bad, it usually goes completely dead. The engine won't run because there's no trigger voltage to the ignition coil.

Hope this helps

 

Thanks for your help mate. I've been playing with this for about a week now with no joy so i think the time has finally come to pull the ke jetronic junk out and replace it with efi

 

lol, dont give up.

Check u have voltage at the relevant pins on the ecu plug - haynes manual will tell u.

 

Thanks for the advice Rick, Ive just checked at ecu & its all fine
I've now convinced the wife that i need efi so im about to start pulling things apart.

 

i dont no if it is the same on a S1 but on the side of the dizzy the is a little box which is an ignition amplifier, this went on my 1.6 cvh fiesta. it might be worth looking into that

 

Maybe the distributor is dead???
Sure they don't have ignition module either...
