are you holding the bottom of the plug to the metal part of the engine
eg ground to compleate the circuit, they wont spark in the air

Yeah there is no spark.
I tried to look for the 2 pin connector to do the ECU diagnostics but could only find a similar looking connector but has 3 pins and different coloured wires.
Do you know where I can find the right connector?
I just figured it out and found the right 2 pin connecter.
But the wires are different coloured. One is black and one is Brown. Should be brown and green/white.
Anyway I did the diagnostics and the engine light just stayed on, so no problems?
Also can someone tell me if the D16y1 and D16a8 Spark plug leads are interchangable?
Same with the dizzy cap
no code.
Ive got some spare d16 leads if u need then (keep it to pm thanks) ~ and they will fit...
dizzy cap shoudl be the same ?!
it cranks but doesnt start??
do u have any petrol?? lol
bennjamin thanks I'll keep your leads in mind. I tried a known working dizzy cap today but no good, still won't start.
have u tried someone elses working dizzy on ur car yet ? As ECU MAN said above , its a good thing to try.
Also , by now id think the cylinders probably are flooded and cant fire anyway - try takign all spark plugs out , disconnect the fuel pump + dizzy , and just turn the car over a few times to spray abit of fuel mist / gunk out of the spark holes. Put back together and try with fresh spark plugs :)
Checked your main relay yet too ?
ahhhhh ben you reminded me
I have seen cars that sit around for a while not start coz of the plugs. ( crash shops )
change the plugs and your all good to go
How do I disable the fuel pump?
Is there a fuse or connecter I can pull?
Tried new spark plugs
and re-soldered the Main Relay, still no good.
I'm stumped
I still think its the Dizzy. You only tried another dizzy cap right? You should try another Dizzy Coil and/or Dizzy Ignitor. Or simply try another whole Dizzy Module.
Or maybe its simply bad engine earthing. Check the earth wires and ensure they havent rusted or anything.
I've tried the Coil and Igniter already.
