Sorry, im in sydney
Anyone know? Cos some mechanics dont have a clue and will keep guessing, and all it will do is cost more money than it should
i read EG a notorious for having faulty coil/dizzy?
Could this be a problem?
How much is it to replace?
i have a brand new coil here at epping...
it is easy to replace, but i doubt it is your problem...
you can test it though:
1. remove the dizzy cap, rotor and plastic cover,
the "coil" is the thing with the tall post and two wires screwed onto it, a blue one and black yellow one.
2. remove the screws holdign the wires on and test the resistance between the terminals - it should be 0.6-0.8 ohms...
3. now test between the black/yellow wire and the metal bit of the post - this should be much higher - like 13'000 to 20'000 ohms..
if not - then itt is out of spec and should be replaced...
i can also get brand new (non OEM) dizzys for $390...
( i had to fit one to my car last week LOL!! but wreckers wanted $450 for a used one, so i bought from the USA!)

Argh!!, what else is there left with these cars....
Im gonna try using someone elses dizzy and see how that goes.
Ill test the coil first but..
Not sure if it has been asked, but have you replaced your fuel filter?
Yeah, one of the first thing i did.
Mate of mine recomended checking the fuel pressure. Anyone got something i can test that with?
dude,
have u tried re-setting ur ECU if not already done so?
and is it throwing u any codes aswell? ..
Try cleaning ur O2 sensor on the exhaust.- To clean this just get a very light sand paper and rub it gently around the tip of the 02 sensor.
look around the engine bay and see if you have any vacume hoses that may be loose or is punctured. - replace if needed.
Also do u have or sense/hear any exhaust leaks?
as for what everyone else has said and you probably done/checked already,
try my remedy above and see how u go.
Ecu hasnt been reset, will try that tomorow night.Quote:
