Fucking car is doing my head in just built it with the modded sierra pickup type setup on it, had a spark before but not now. Tried different coilpack and EDIS on and getting power to all the right places but no bloody spark so it was one of the only things I reckoned it could be was wiring on the CPS or CPS going faulty

No spark whatsoever.

All 3 wires are live when ignition only is on and if I remember right then 2 of them are live when cranking over but still no spark.

Any suggestions Ginge ???

Any suggestions Ginge ???

dont ask for my advice


on a serious note i would start at the cps plug, look at that then chase the wiring back, if ya had spark before then theres a rcent recent to stop it


pikeys was the plug was fooked and he chopped it then fogot what way i went, i guesed and it worked, then hard to do it to get the length,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, then AGAIN to solder it

also check the gap on the CPS too

good luck

Will give that lot a bash at the weekend and let you know how I get on

Got spare plugs and sensors over at my mates so will have to get them from him.

Another quick one whilst ive got your attention - did you use a screened cable for the extra wiring ??
