Re: No spark - continued

Hi micron, Yes it does crank, has no problem doing that. No there is specifically NO SPARK in any form. All three distributors are indeed the correct ones this is not the issue. I can check for high resistance, but to what contact points? Both the points in the loom side of connector or one of the ...

Re: No spark - continued

Apologies for the questions. Does it crank over? Are you getting a spark at the plugs? Did you use the correct dizzy when changing it? Is the firing order correct? You replaced the CPS, but did you check the plug on the wiring side of the loom, if you have some high resistance it will not work. Thes...

Re: A/C dilemma

Hi Tommy, I have considered it, I believe that the wiring is there, the only one I haven’t found yet, but I haven’t looked for it is the one to the pump. You also need the relay for the AC. The controller is the same, just remove the little black sticker from the button, yes I didn’t know either. Th...

Re: Thermal fuse

If it has the coloured bands on it you can tell what resistor it is.
You should be able to google it, or even take a picture and share it on google

Looks like I might need new piston rings two at least. Anyone have any?
Why do you need to piston rings?
Did you also ask on Facebook
You will need to know the size
Try RockAuto, or an engine engineering company

Re: Rough idle

Have you checked all of your pipes etc?
When you say the water is ok, is it full to the brim when you remove the cap on the engine, with it not running and the engine is cold?

Have you checked for any fault codes

Are you able to share a video of it doing it?

Re: Rough idle

It could be a split in the elbow between the VAF and IM, or a pipe has come off at the back of the air box.
Is your car a standard set up, have you changed anything recently?
Do you have any oil in the plug wells
Where are you based
