Hey guys,
So i changed my dizzy cap and rotor today, drove it out of the driveway and it stopped. After much cursing i put back in the orginal parts but still nothing.
Car is EK4 with b16a2, pretty much stock.
Checked for spark, error codes cleaned all contacts, checked earths. So now i'm stuck.
NRMA guy says it could be the coil or ignition module but i don't know how much i would be trusting those guys.
Any suggestions before i take the car to a mechanic on monday?

Thanks,
Ian

Blown ignition modules are common but also the relay....fuse etc....

check that the wires going to the ignition module and coil are seated properly, you could have possibly disturbed them while working on the distributor.
