Check the ignitor.The easiest way to tell,if you crank over and the tacho does not read,then you know you need a new one. They often give intermittent faults or play up when they are hot.It is mounted inside the dizzy next to the coil.3 wires on top and 1 wire on the side.
its really hard to explain , some days it will start some days it wont , i have changed the leads and the problem still continues so thats whats making me think the coil or dizzy but still why does it start sometimes? then when i do start it im scared to drive anywhere cos when i switch it off it wont start again until it wants to lol.
another quick question , i did something pretty stupid just before all this was happening and i should have mentioned it... i was changing my pod filter with the car on and the spanner i was using touched + and - then the car stalled and wouldn start for a minute or two then she cranked but iv noticed the problem has come on since this..and i spoke to a sparky and he said that if that happens you can get + spikes going throigh the ecu causing it to play up and maybe i need a new ecu? Youse think maybe reset the ecu , i haven tried cos i dunno how...
oh and btw my ecu light is always on how do i check for codes?
The ecu is fused.. if any one of your sensors might be gone... check crank angle sensor.. when that plays up sometimes cant start.
If you think its the Dizzy.. Take it out and head down to Hannys! they got a machine that can test it. Somtimes the igniter or coil die! Good luck yo!
