What did you do to it?? Is it fixable?

It's an electrical issue Ross. I'm 99.9% sure it's the coil igniters. They apparently don't take kindly to being disturbed after 19 years faithful service. I've found the two I need from the states fir around 30 quid. I've ordered distributor caps, rotor arms and coils ad well.

A bit late now, but these guys seem pretty good for parts...

Same engine, different exhaust manifolds, sumps and bigger injectors, but basically the same.

Cheers vince, I'm going to take a kook right now.

I can vouch for them, very good service, and fast delivery (that's where my filter adapter came from).

I can get most parts from work at cost price so if you need anything else like that let me know. I have been able to get nearly all the parts I needed apart from the air flow meter they wanted £700!! Get it £30 off eBay in the end..

Well im going to check nominal voltages to the injectors, resistance to coils etc...vince...is it possible you could send me an old distributor to coil ht lead, if you have one hanging around.
Its for the that broken one...funnily enough !
im getting fuel to the engine, theres electric in all the right spots...as a precaution, im going to ground EVERYTHING.

No worries, leads will be in the post tomorrow.

If there's 12v at the B+ pin in the diagnostics box, then there should be 12v at the injectors.

Cheers ross...will almost certainly be in touch.

thanks for that vince... i take it the b+ pin is part of the injector circuit.

Yeah, it's the main 12v feed for the whole engine.
Have you looked at those diagrams yet?

yes. ive perused them quite closely(thanks for sending them btw). nothing untoward springs to mind. Coupled with the fact, it did a nigh on 300 mile hit without a hitch, it all points to a component issue.

For blinking flips sake...give us a chance loike...
Yes al, broke into the garage...nowt much stands up to a Stihl saw.

did you grind thru my centre caps, or are they still in one piece????

[gwh200]

They're in there with fcuk knows what else al...it's like mr trebus's house in there!!

[Albannach]

Where did you buy the igniters Graham? Just wondering if I should get some just in case?

[gwh200]

As soon as my poxy windoze based laptop finishes the disk defrag...after I system restored it...I'll get the link for you andy.
