Car had a slight misfire after mapping at about 7k, was just a little hiccup and the car drove through it.
Not really driven it since as its been to the bodyshop, picked it up from bodyshop last week and it was running on 3 till it warmed up and then it was fine again
There was a slight hairline crack in dizzy cap and contacts looked a bit tired so changed with new oem dizzy cap and rotor arm, took it out last night and no more misfire and was running sweet. After an hour so, gave it a bit more stick onto a dual carriageway and missed at 7k again, but spluttered alot this time, drove through it like before, and spluttered even more again and just no revs whatsoever and car eventually coasted to a stop and stalled. then wouldnt start at all
pulled a spark plug and checked it and no spark, multimeter on plug lead bit on dizzy and nothing.
I dont have a spare dizzy or know anyone nearby to try it, but I can get an ignition coil today to try that, is there anything else I can do to get my dizzy fixed if it is that? Really need the car running asap
or does anyone have any ideas what else it could be?
tempted to switch to coil on plugs but dont really know enough about it...
