Urgent help! distributor has no spark??

[teh_mechanic]

if you look inside your dizzy cap in the centre there should be a spring loaded peice of carbon. this touches the rotor and distributes the spark to the leads.

also,you say you have replaced the dizzy cap.It's good practice to scrape a little bit away from the carbon piece when u install the new cap to make sure you will get a good contact. You might want to scrape away any buildup on the contacts in the dizzy too,but i suppose they must be ok if you have spark when the caps off.weird problem.goodluck

thx for all the replies.
im going to the mech tomorrow to do a little fiddle myself and hopefully it will run . will keep this updated.

btw. this problem only occured straight after i had my valve adjusted and my spark O ring replaced (so im guessing sparks might of been pulled out during the change. could these two things be the cause of my problem?

Also, remember that is one carefully blueprinted hi-end engine built by a proven performance workshop. Its not your typical JDM B18cR !
