Hi i have a 1989 Fiesta Xr2, The problem is it wouldnt start so went through the usuals fuel spark etc to find i have no spark.
When i put a multimeter across the coil with the ignition turned on there is no voltage is this correct?
Anyone got any suggestions as to what it could be and any ways of testing various components to eliminate them Thanks in advance

 

that will be 90% your dizzy amp playing chap

 

you mean the 3 pin bit on top of the distributor?

 

yer the little black box thing!!that is of course if u aint got a immobiliser fault

 

Deffo not immobiliser fault as i havent got one lol. Would the ignition amp module stop me having voltage at the coil?

 

pretty sure it controls all that!common for these to go down fella!might be worth of course trying the simple things i.e rotor arm cap etc first!

 

Yeah i tried rotor arm cap etc. I will get a distributor tomorrow and try it thanks.

 

Legend cheeRs for that its now got a spark!!!!

 

no probs fella pleased it sorted and all ok

 

why not post up the cure to the problem so others can see what it was if using the search facility
