When you have put the dizzy back it can not be timed up correctly with the engine, theres is a pin hole on the inside of the dizzy the rotor arm should face this when engine is at TDC.

Set the engine to TDC, this is the LUG nearest the "V" groove in the crank pulley.
Check both cam marks are in line with the join between cover and head, and pointing towards each other, then look for the scribed line/mark on the lip of the dizzy body where the dist seal and cap go onto, as said this must fall in line dead centre with the rotor arm path.

Even timed up wrong you should get a continuous spark. If it was ok before you removed the dizzy, you must have disturbed/dislodged/broken something. Have a good check around before you throw a module at it.

 

hello mate do have any ideas.

thanks chris.

 

He will get a spark but in totally the wrong firing order, if the dizzy is back on timed correctly it should start.

Won't be ECU, what do you mean be intermitient spark?


Martin

 

hello mate when you turn the ignition it will spark on number 1 the when you tune the car over it dose not spark when you check it again there is now spark pull out number 2 plug it sparks on that one not number one and so on any ideas chaps????

 

It should spark in the order 1,3,4,2.

Martin

 

ok mate i will check it tomorrow and let you know.cheers

 

Just a thought..
I have had similar problems, have you checked carefully the connector/connection all the way to the phase sensor?
