NIKH25 Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 That's fair enough, are you not replacing the dizzy itself as that's more likely to be the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark11 Posted April 20, 2013 Author Share Posted April 20, 2013 chnging dizzy and arm 32 for both ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIKH25 Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 That's just the cap, I think the problem is caused by the ignitor unit in the dizzy, although I'm not sure and someone will correct me if I'm wrong but definitely the cap won't be the problem.

KiNK43 Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Cutting out, if dizzy related which it likely is. Will be is as said the ignitor. Easier just change the whole dizzy. As I mention I baught complete unit for 70 quid including new cap etc.Btw are you getting engine management light? I think dizzy shows code 15 ignition control output or something like that.

mark11 Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 no no lights on at all. i pulled the wires out near the cap the block and wiggled them all and its no cut out since. could be just a coincidence that it not cut out now where did u get it for 70 pound ?

KiNK43 Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Hopefully simple as that then!I baught it new from eBay. Was advised not to buy cheap but it was all I could afford at the time. And two years later and many thousands of miles. Still works a treat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark11 Posted April 29, 2013 Author Share Posted April 29, 2013 Car has not cut out for 2 weeks. Ive put a new cap and arm on the other day, couple of hours later it stopped on me again with no warning at all . would not start for about half an hour. Tried turning it over and it was bubbling like it was out of petrol (but had petrol in it). Pushed it down road and it started again and fires up fine ever since. Not cut out for another 2 days. resoldered the relay this morning but it does smell a bit burnt. any other ideas as i dont want to buy the ignitor if its going to cost me a fortune.No missing, no juddering just cuts out with no warning. had a word with a few mechanics and as someone has said on here if it was the ignitor it would probably goes from missing to not running at all and mine isnt missing at all. No engine management lights come on at all. Do you think i should just buy a relay and hope for the best.Need to get it sorted as it keeps cutting out on the wife when shes got the kids in the car and shes useless at breaking down.On a better note it is pulling better with the new cap on.
