Re: Need some serious help please
Hey Bob. If the CPS Plug is good then I agree it's probably the Dissy. Kaz had it one time on a 96. Left home running spot on and went to a local shop 1/2 mile away. Came out of the shop and it was dead wouldn't start at all. I took a spare Dissy out to her changed it in the Car Park, Car Fired up ...

Re: Need some serious help please
My last one failed without warning. Like you, I thought everything else could be at fault, but never suspected the dizzy as there had been no hint of a problem. All the coils on all my failed dizzys were in spec too - I believe it is a transistor that fails due to heat (don't quote me as I am no 10...

Re: Need some serious help please
I feel the same about the dizzy and I had loads of trouble a few years back but every time I've had a dizzy failure (8) its given me a bit of a warning in misfiring, stuttering and general rough running. Not this time! I checked the primary and secondary coil resistances and though out of range the ...

Need some serious help please
I've got a non starter, I'm afraid. So... Flying Machine is an August 97 reg, 2.5ltr, 24v so about as late as it gets. Here's the history. I last drove it 22 miles to work about 6 weeks ago. It was running perfectly in fact brilliantly when I parked it. Its not missed a beat in 3 years. Next time I ...

Re: Mysterious Code 13
Holding our breath here Bob, any progress, or clues ? I hurt my back over the weekend so I've not done the few checks I had lined up. Also the battery is beginning to groan which reminds me - I need to buy a new charger. When I've covered all the basics and exhausted all the usual suspects, I'll be...

Re: Mysterious Code 13
I'm sure you know this Bob , the IAT is incorporated with the MAF unit. I know some are paranoid about the exhaust gas sensors but I ran M515 for at least 150,000miles without them working. The ECU inputs an 'average value' if nothing better arrives from them. It still did 38mpg,no problem and neve...

Re: Mysterious Code 13
I have looked on several sites and none of them show a code 13. I remember something that Mark ( original owner of the club) used to say that there were a couple of bogus codes that used to show sometimes. You might find that once you have corrected anything and reset your codes it might go away, I...
