Ignition

Has any one encounted a problem, where there is no spark at coil or dist, even though new coil fitted.

Leads, dist cap, rotor arm ok, also no spark at s/plugs when tested. My car just cut out without warning and would'nt start, turns over fine but just wont fire up.

Any ideas, iv'e got a feeling that it might be some sort of relay gone,but not sure.

similar problem with mine a few months ago.

would cut out when running at temperature and couldnt be restarted, also no spark at coil, distributor, or plugs. Car would crank over but wouldnt start.

Turns out my engine was flooding and had a sensor problem. A coolant sensor and the hall sensor in the distributor were changed and i havent had a problem since.
