Me old mans got a problem with his car a 1.4 carb cvh orion its got no spark we have changed the coil twice with 2 we no that are good but it didnt sort it out only thing i can think is its the distributor is fooked we have been down scrappy but they only have the lucas dizzy and not the bosch one which we need

can you use either one of these or do you have to use the one thats originaly fitted to car???

cheers

pretty sure you can use either mate

 

Try changing rotor arm first! and dizzy cap, make sure that plugs are not failed up, and the dizzy normally has an electronic part on it which packs up, cant remember what is called a module.

 

Ignition module i think it's called. I'd try dizzy cap and rotor arm as well

 

as above it will be your ignition amplifier !

black thingy attached to the dizzy where the plug clips to !

 

Its deff got to be the dizzy but cant get hold of the bosch one can get loads lucas ones just need no if there diffrent plugs on them as every thing else should be ok any one no???

cheers
jon

 

I can't see why they would be diffrent as they're for the same engine.

I'd just try it and see. If it's the wrong one then u could sell it on ebay for more than u paid for it

 

Take you old one with you if you are going to the breakers and compare it.

 

I reckon.....you should try gettin the igniton module on it tested

Bet you a jam tart the igniton module has gone

(black box on the dizzy and has a 3 pin wiring plug, know what i mean?)

Oh and if you do need a new dizzy or anything, i can probably source you one

 

thats what i said straight away safechav as they are prone to this

 

Its sorted he tried the lucas dizzy and it fitted the same and fired up first time

thanks everyone

 

beckham sorry i missed that

At least he's sorted it
