No Spark on a cossie
i have no spark from the coil
I take the coil lead of the dizzy and put it to earth: when you turn the key to the ignition on there is a spark. When cranking the engine no spark http://www.rsclassics360.co.uk/forum...ault/angry.gif Any ideas lads???!!!! |
Check phase sensor and crank sensor first they are usual culprits
|
If you have a cap from the coil to the cap but nothing the other side of the cap then I'd say try swapping the cap for another :D
|
when the lead is off the cap (coil lead to cap) there is a spark when the key is turned to ignition lights. When crranking the engine over there is no park from the lead
|
i have just got this car in and it has not been started for 3 years. full service today plugs etc. if the guy before put the CPS and the Phase sensor plug the wrong way round would this cause the problem
if not what would be the symptom |
tried CPS no change: tried different ECU no change
|
Try cap Gary, like I say, you have spark going in but not coming out, worth a punt.
Ps, did you see if you had them trim bits? :D |
sent you a pm
|
Don't think it's the cap, as that would not prevent it sparking whilst it's turning over.
Maybe the coil itself or possibly the amp? Martin |
cheers mate for your advice on the phone and i will give it all a try tomorrow and i will let you know:top:

problem solved thanks for your help everyone
|
What was the problem in the end?
|
so wot was it then mate
|
the guy i got the car from had plugged the CPS plug in to the Dizzy and the Dizzy plug into the CPS.
swapped this morning and fired up straight away. Problem was the plugs are both black so i checked the wire colours on another loom i had :grin: |
Glad it's sorted, common mistake is that.

:DD: So am I mate

Really strange, I got exactly the same problem tonight.
Ran the car, took it around the block, parked it back on the drive for a wash, wouldnt start after. Exactly the same issue.... the coil lead will arc when put to earth as soon the ignition is on, but wont spark when turning over :( I thought it was the group A coil which had died. Havent messed with any CPS/Dizzy.... could someone post how they should be please?? Thanks Huw |
All it is, the CPS and phase have the same connectors and physically can be interconnected to each other by mistake, this won't be your issue, as you say you haven't touched anything!
Maybe ignition amp? Martin |
Just looked at mine ... I have a black lead and black plug going to the dizzy and a black lead with white plug going to a sensor at the side of the oil filter.
Is this the CPS? Is mine right? Cheers Huw |
