A mate of mine has an F-plate 2wd sapphire cossie which is now refusing to start.

Its definatly ignition related as when you switch the ignition on fully the coil starts to produce a spark but when you turn the engine over the sparking stops, hence why the thing wont start.

The coil is recieving a live when the ignition is switched on and stays live once cranking but will only spark when the engine is not turning over.

Any ideas people....

change the ignition Switch, i bet its that. if not, there are problem in the wires from ignition switch to coil. check them whit multimeter.

 

cheers trev

 

only a guess but it could be the ignition amplifier ( or a dodgy coil )

 

had the same prob on mine turned out to be ignition amplifier

 

Cheers for the help people, he's got an ignition amplifier coming so lets hope its that!
