R.I.P Dizzy
My dizzy appears to be dead.
I was over in Swansea last night (About 50 miles away from me) and my poor RST wouldn't start. Luckily the missus is in the AA so we got a free tow home by 2 of the funniest recovery men ever, that's another story tho.
I only let the AA man do simple diag as I didn't like the look of him, but there was no spark from the coil to the dizzy. So, tonight I bought new leads, dizzy cap, rotor arm, and used a spare known working coil and still no spark. The coil has power but no firing signal feed
So, I've condemned my dizzy to the big green plastic graveyard.
On a more serious note, is it most likely to be the dizzy if all the above have been replaced???

ECU do go wrong, but no were near as often as people make out. What tests have you done? Or did you just change everything and hope for the best? Keep it simple, all you need for ignition to work on any car is:
Live
Earth
Signal
Switching
You can check all these things with a mulitmeter and LED test light (or the Noid light version)
Are you getting LESS?
