I wont have chance to change it until mid week.

Hopefully once fitted it will start, and we will see if the supercharger has sealed, bleed the coolant, test drive and then get the new stage 4 clutch fitted then its.................

Morphin time

Seriously WTF!!!!!!!!!!!

Put new dizzy cap and rotor and and still nothing.

The coil spring fell out and i placed it back. I assume this only needs to sit between the dizzy cap and coil ingnitor.
Ill check tomorrow the quality of the spark after the dizzy and different plugs.

Im fuming.

Oh dear, wish I could take a look at it for you but sounds like everything should be right. The spring does just press into the cap and touches the coil, maybe stretch it a little to ensure a connection?

How about the engine being earthed?

Ok I actually have the coil pressed into the ignitor so maybe it isn't touching the dizzy. It try resting it in the dizzy and putting it on and stretching it a little.
Engine isn't propperly earthed no. But it was fine before. I'll fix up a solid earth also and try again tomorrow.

I know it's something simple it always is. Even the th adapter to charger gasket was on upside down causing anal leaks.

What! Still no luck! Gutted for you man, you must be pulling your hair out over this.

It must be something simple like you say. So is it definitely sparking? Also, you say you here the fuel pump, have you pulled an injector to make sure its injecting as it should? Timing done? I guess not if its not started yet??? Could a spark issue be anything to do with the the crank position sensor or TDC sensor down on the oil pump? I guess those would throw a CEL code though.

Just a few thoughts.

Hello hobos

Made a small breakthrough today.
Tested spark at the new dizzy and nothing. Tested at the coil and nothing. SO i swapped out the coil for my old one and we have yellow spark. Still not blue.
So i attempted to fire it up.
And low and behold it starts. Well sort off. Its keeps kicking in but i dont start on its own. It will only ignite and keep cranking/igniting when i turn the key..Almost like not all the cylinders are igniting. Exhaust gas comes out too.

So i took out my new copper heat 6 plugs and plug my old knackered platinums in. The coppers were soaked in fuel. But it still does the same almost igniting.

So...

Could this still be a weak spark?

Does the ignitor unit have much to do with the spark since thats the only think i havnt swapped out due to rounded screws that would need drilling out. Maybe a new ignitor and new coil?

Somthing else?

No cel codes or errors. Nothing.
