Hey, another problem with my Orion!!!
When I was driving home yesterday the car spluttered and cut out. Its an 88 Orion 1.6i Ghia MFi.
I towed it home and an hour or so later it started fine, ran for about 30 seconds then cut out. Again today it started and ran fine for 2 or 3 mins then cut out and wouldn't start.
The fuel pump comes on with the ignition then goes off as normal but won't run when I turn the engine over. I then took the fuel pump relay out of my XR3i but its still the same. I then ran a wire straight from the battery to the fuel pump so it ran all the time but it made no difference. I've now found that it isn't sparking either!
I had a very similar problem with my old Astra GTE and it turned out to be the fuel pump relay.
Any help with this would be appreciated because I don't know much about the K Jetronic system.
Cheers Peter.

 

module on the dizzy is the common thing buddy,try swapping the whole dizzy with the one off your xr3i

 

Swapped the dizzy off the XR3i and it fired up and seems to be running spot on.
Thanks very much mate. Peter.

 

no problem
